Oliver Learning is a retailer focused on education supplies. The company has a book value of $43.98 per share. Oliver Learning has a PB ratio of 8.80 and the education supplies industry PB ratio is 6.46 Assuming that comparable industry companies are priced correctly the intrinsic value of Oliver Learning's equity per share is Select one: A. Undervalued $102.91 per share B. Overvalued by $43.98 per share C. Overvalued $102.91 per share D. Priced correctly

Explanation / Answer

C. Overvalued $102.91 per share

Intrinsic value equals book value per share multiplied by the industry PB ratio. To determine the amount of mispricing, the intrinsic value would be compared to the current price.

= $43.98 × (8.80 - 6.46)

= $43.98 × 2.34

= $102.91 per share
