c. How much value has the company created for its shareholders as a percent of the investment of the equity holders?
a. Market value of equity = No of shares outstanding x Price per share = 657 million x 83 = 54531
Book value of equity = $17532
Total Market value of company = Market value of equity + Market value of debt
Book value of Company = Total capital contributed = Book value of equity + Book value of debt
Market value added = Total Market value of company - Total capital contributed = Total Market value of company - Total Book value of company = Market value of equity + Market value of debt Market value of equity - Book value of equity - Book value of debt
Here in this question book value of debt = market value of debt because market value of debt is not given
Market value added = Market value of equity - Book value of equity = 54531 - 17532 = $36399 million
Market value added = $36399 million
b. Market to book ratio = Market value of equity / Book value of equity = 54531 / 17532 = 3.1103 = 3.11 (rounded to two decimal places)
Hence Market to book ratio =3.11
c. Value created by company for its shareholders = Total market value of equity / Book value of equity = 54531 / 17532 = 3.11 = 311%
Value created by company for its shareholder as percent of investment by equity holders = 311% of equity investment
