Here We address the queries that are regularly raised by the students. You must have seen through our videos the queries that we are going to address here are related to the numerical questions. 

In numerical questions, students feel that if we know the formulas like ratio analysis then we know the formula of ROE, ROCE, calculations like dividend yield, earning yield, etc.

If we know some formula then it is possible that we will clear our exam.  

I personally don't believe in this thing, as an educator I always feel that your concepts should be clear. If concepts are clear, then your vertical reading balance sheet or vertical profit & loss account means if you know how to read your financial statements well, then I don't think you need formulas.

They will automatically reflect in your mind. They will be reflected in a way that means you should have this level of understanding for that too, but yes, reading financial statement is going to be a base for any ratio analysis question. 

That means numerical questions, so in this article we'll cover formula based questions and also learning formulas in this series. 

In demand we need formula based questions so we are making it but still I will say certain questions are they like this or many questions for that matter is such where the combination of formula. There is a requirement So you will just memorize the formula and with that Questions will be solved I am a little Skeptical about it but okay if you want me to cover formula based questions.

P/BV RATIO = CMP BOOK VALUE PER SHAREP/BV RATIO = MARKET CAP/BOOK VALUE (EQUITY VALUE IN BALANCE SHEET)


A company has equity of 10 crore, Reserves of Rs. 6 crore, current year’s undistributed profit is Rs. 1 crore, current market price is Rs. 340 outstanding shares are 50 lakh shares. Calculate book value and Book value per share and price to book value ratio.
Total book value = equity + Reserves + undistributed profit

Total book value = 10 crore + 6 crore + 1 crore = 17 crore 

Book value per share = total book value / number of equity shares

BV per share = 17 crore / 50 lakhs = Rs. 34
