Respuesta :

Answer:

$8.1 per share

Explanation:

The computation of the book value per share is shown below:

Book value per share = (Total equity - preference dividend) ÷ (number of shares)

                                   = ($2,752,000 - $160,000) ÷ (320,000 shares)

                                  = ($2,592,000) ÷ (320,000 shares)

                                  = $8.1 per share

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
