Book value per share Before = Total Stockholders Equity / number of shares outstanding
= $2,975,000 / 71,000 shares
= $41.901 per share
Book value per share After
Book value per share Before = Total Stockholders Equity / number of shares outstanding
= $2,975,000 / [71,000 shares x 118%]
= $2,975,000 / 83,780 shares
= $35.510 per share
