company, and includes stock except where a distinction between stock and share is expressed
or implied. :
"An amount is noted on each share of a company, this is known as face value of the shares,
‘A-company has issued 10,000 shares of € 10 each, in this case the amount of ® 10 is the face
value of the share and it is also called par value. Market price of the share may be less or more
than the face value of the share.

Ordinarily following methods o ion of shares are adopted :

per Share Method.
1) ASSET VALUATION METHOD . A
Following procedure is adopted for finding out value of shares according eee pate :
(1) To find out realisable value of real assets of the company See a lue of all the
assets of the company are totalled up. Of course fictitious assets like. Prelim mary expense,
discount on shares and debentures and debit balance of profit and loss account should not be
added for this purpose, ae ane
(2) To find on? total of external liabilities : External liabilities are ee liabilities which
the company has to pay to outsiders, like—creditors, debentures, isibortred oan, employees
saving fund etc. The amount of sharcholder’s money is not to be included such as—share
capital, reserve and funds, credit balance of profit and loss account. aoa
(8) To find out the value of net assets : After calculating realisable value of assets ang
liabilities the value of net assets may be found out by deducting the value of external liabilities
from the value of real assets. The amount of net assets should be divided by number of shares
which will give the value of one share.
In the form of formula, it may be as follows : estan
(i) Value of net assets = Total of realisable assets - Total of external liabilities
Value of net assets
Number of shares
Alternative method : For calculating the value of share there is another method according
to which reserves and funds, profit of the company, profit on revaluation of assets are added
to share capital of the company. Out of this total loss on revaluation, business loss, and deferred
revenue expenditure are to be deducted and this is divided by number of shares that will give
the value of one share. In the form of formula :
G) Value of net assets = (Share capital of the company + Undistributed reserves
and funds + Profit of the company + profit on revaluation
of assets) — (Loss on revaluation + Business loss + Deferred
revenue expenditure)
Value of Net assets
Number of shares .
The following considerations are required for calculating name of one share under assets
valuation method :
“According to section 85 of Indian Companies Act, 1956 preference share is that share on
which a fixed rate of dividend is to be paid and at the time of liquidation such shares have
priority for payment. Therefore, if in the balance sheet preference shares are given, then the
value of share shall be calculated as follows :
(2) If according to Articles of Association preference shares have priority only for capital,
then the amount of preference capital is deducted from net assets and the balance is divided
by number of equity shares to find out the value of one equity share. In form of formula :
