Problem 3-36 Book versus Market Value (LO2)
The table below contains data on Fincorp Incorporated. The balance sheet items correspond to values at year-end 2021 and 2022, while the income statement items correspond to revenues or expenses during the year ending in either 2021 or 2022. All values are in thousands of dollars.
| 2021 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $ 4,900 | $ 5,000 |
| Cost of goods sold | 1,800 | 1,900 |
| Depreciation | 480 | 500 |
| Inventories | 300 | 330 |
| Administrative expenses | 510 | 560 |
| Interest expense | 140 | 140 |
| Federal and state taxes* | 590 | 610 |
| Accounts payable | 280 | 320 |
| Accounts receivable | 350 | 385 |
| Net fixed assets | 4,600 | 5,340 |
| Long-term debt | 2,800 | 3,150 |
| Notes payable | 853 | 530 |
| Dividends paid | 470 | 470 |
| Cash and marketable securities | 850 | 450 |

Net fixed assets are fixed assets net of accumulated depreciation since the asset was installed.
Suppose that the market value (in thousands of dollars) of Fincorp's fixed assets in 2022 is $5,505 and that the value of its long-term debt is only $2,950. In addition, the consensus among investors is that Fincorps past investments in developing the skills of its employees are worth $2,800. This investment, of course, does not show up on the balance sheet. What will be the price per share of Fincorp stock? (Assume 481,000 shares of stock outstanding.)
