₹11.68

₹12.1

Correct Answer:

₹14.60

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹14.60.

Book value per share = Equity shareholders funds/ No. of equity shares
                                = 5,84,000/40,000
                                = ₹14.6

Shareholders’ Fund = Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + General Reserve
                             =  4,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 1,84,000
                             = 6,84,000

Equity shareholder fund =  Shareholders’ Funds – Preference Share Capital.
                                   = 6,84,000 - 1,00,000
                                   = 5,84,000
