标题: Easy Book value ? [打印本页] 作者: SkipE99 时间: 2011-7-13 15:45 标题: Easy Book value ?
If you use cash to buy back shares and pay over current book value, the resuting book value (post buy back) will be...
Higher
Lower
?
I always thought if you pay over book for shares in the market, then resulting book will be LOWER, but I'm reading otherwise in BSSA answer key that BV will increase.

I am sure BSAS is incorrect作者: kingstongal 时间: 2011-7-13 15:46
Paying Over Book Value makes Book Value rise.
That's because the denominator ( shares ) is worth more to extinguish than to hold.
Drop in denominator is higher than drop in numerator ( Book value drop owing to repurchase). So the BVPS rises作者: senlinlang 时间: 2011-7-13 15:46
Not sure what you are talking about.
If share repurchase price > BVPS
BVPS falls, after the repurchase.
Not sure at all....
please check out pg 158-159 of Corp Fin for examples of this.

cpk , you are right . I had it exactly backwards. BVPS will drop if yu pay more than book value to repurchase shares作者: MiniMe7 时间: 2011-7-13 15:46
Well, isn't the denominator in the BVPS the number of shares? That doesn't change since they paid cash for the acquired company...
Maybe this is simplistic, but
new BV = old BV -cash paid +acquired BV.
That's how I would think about it.作者: flyinggirl 时间: 2011-7-13 15:46
If BVPS < Market Price, a repurchase will decrease book value.
If BVPS > Market Price, a repurchase will increase book value.

I agree, it's all over CFAI and Schweser.
MV > BV, a repurchase will DECREASE book value. Is the almighty BSAS wrong?作者: Newhuman 时间: 2011-7-13 15:46
my bad... did not read it right.
