The firm now has 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and the shares sell at a price of $52 per share. What is Hampton's MVA(market value added)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Hampton Industries

Hampton's Market value added (MVA) is:

= $12,000,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Stockholders' Equity = $40,000,000

Common stock outstanding = 1,000,000

Market price per share = $52

Market capitalization = $52,000,000 ($52 * 1,000,000)

Market value added (MVA) = $12,000,000 ($52,000,000 - $40,000,000)

b) The market value added (MVA) is the difference between the market capitalization of Hampton's stock and the capital contribution of stockholders.
