    The firm's market value and book value per share differs by $19.62.

    We follow the following steps to arrive at the answer:

    Book Value per share = Total Common equity / No. of stock outstanding

    Book Value per share = $ 7.88 (5,125,000/650,000)

    Market Price per share = $27.50

    Market Price per share - Book Price per share = $27.50 - $.7.88 = $19.62.

    Answer: $19.62

    Explanation:

    Common Equity shown in the balance sheet is always shown at its par value.

    Common Equity (Par value) : $5,125,000

    Number of shares: 650,000

    Book value per share = Common Equity (par value) : Number of shares

    Book value per share = $5,125,000 : 650,000

    Book Value per share = $7.88

    Market Value per share = $27.50

    Difference between Firm's Market value and book value = $27.50 - $7.88

    Difference between Firm's Market value and book value = $19.62
