Answer 1

Answer:

The difference is $9,450,000

Explanation:

Market Value of Share = $27.50 x 530,000

                                     =$14,575,000

Book Value  = $5,125,000.

Difference    = $14,575,000- $5,125,000.

                   =$9,450,000

The market value is greater than book value by $9,450,000
