Book Value

Book value literally means the value of a business according to its books (accounts) that is reflected through its financial statements. Theoretically, book value represents the total amount a company is worth if all its assets are sold and all the liabilities are paid back. This is the amount that the company’s creditors and investors can expect to receive if the company goes for liquidation.

Mathematically, book value is calculated as the difference between a company's total assets and total liabilities.
