Explanation / Answer
1. The Current Market Value of this corporation’s Common Stock
= Current Selling Price on a Stock Exchange per Share x Total Number of Shares Outstanding
= $85 x 4000 = $340000
2. Par Value of Preferred Stock = Value of Preferred stock/Number of preferred shares
= $50000/1000 = $50 per share
Par Value of Common Stock = $80000/4000 = $20 per share
3. If no dividends are in arrears, the Book Values per share of the preferred stock
= Total preferred stock/Number of preferred shares = $50000/1000 = $50
Book Values per share of the common stock = ($80000 + $150000)/4000 = $57.5
4. If two years’ preferred dividends are in arrears, the Book Values per share of the preferred stock
= Book Value + 2yrs of dividends at 5%
= $50 + 2x($50x5%) = $55
Book Value per share of common stock
= (Total Stockholders' equity - (Preferred stock's total book value))/Number of common shares
= ($280000 - ($55x1000))/4000 = $56.25
5. If two years’ preferred dividends are in arrears and the preferred stock is callable at $55 per share, the Book Value per share of the preferred stock = Call Price + 2yrs of dividends at 5%
= $55 + 2x($50x5%) = $60
Book Value per share of common stock
= (Total Stockholders' equity - (Preferred stock's total book value))/Number of common shares
= ($280000 - ($60x1000))/4000 = $55
