Strack Houseware Supplies Inc. has $889 million in total assets. The other side of its balance sheet consists of $142.24 million in current liabilities, $257.81 million in long-term debt, and $488.95 million in common equity. The company has 29,400,000 shares of common stock outstanding, and its stock price is $88 per share. What is Strack's market-to-book ratio

Answer 1

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above information,

Market value = Common stock outstanding × Stock price

Market value = 29,400,000 × $88

Market value = $2,587,200,000

Common equity = $488.95 million

Then,

Market to book ratio = $2,587,200,000 / $488,095,000

Market to book ratio = 5.30

Therefore, Strack's market to book ratio is 5.30
