📚 Financial Literacy – Book Value

Book Value is the net worth of a company calculated as Total Assets minus Total Liabilities. Book Value Per Share (BVPS) = (Total Assets – Total Liabilities) / Total Outstanding Shares. It is useful for asset-heavy industries, though it may not account for intangible assets like brand value or patents. Investors often compare this with market value using the Price-to-Book Ratio.
