However, there might be a chance for this company to improve their performance through the support given by the government and their new investment on assets in the future.…

    Comparison: Market Capitalization vs Book Value Market Capitalization is based on the projected value of a company’s share price, but Book Value is the actual worth of the company based on financial records (Valuation Techniques Overview, n.d.). Book Value of a company is equal to the value of its equity, but Market Capitalization is the current market value of its shares (Valuation Techniques Overview, n.d.). Book Value considers tangible assets of a company while calculating the company value, but Market Capitalization is the whole value of both tangible and intangible assets like brand values (Valuation Techniques Overview, n.d.). When the Market Value of a company is more than its Book Value, the buyer is paying more money for something with less value, so it will be loss (Valuation Techniques Overview, n.d.). Conversely, when the Book Value of a company is more than the Market Value, it is profit for the buyer (Valuation Techniques Overview,…
