    a) $ 400000, $ 24.4 million b) $ 24.4, $ 0.4

    Explanation:

    His book value represent the valuable assets he contributed and this is $ 400000 invested in the production plant

    the market value = the worth of his patent + his investment in production plant = $ 24 million + $ 400000 = $ 24.4 million

    b) the price per share = $ 24.4 / 1 million = $ 24.4

    the book per share value = $ 400000 / 1 million = $ 0.4
