Question

is? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Market to Book ratio (also called the Price to Book ratio), is a financial valuation metric used to evaluate a company’s current market value relative to its book value. The market value is the current stock price of all outstanding shares (i.e. the price that the market believes the company is worth). The book value is the amount that would be left if the company liquidated all of its assets and repaid all of its liabilities. The book value equals the net assets of the company and comes from the balance sheet. In other words, the ratio is used to compare a business’s net assets that are available in relation to the sales price of its stock.
