What is the way Net Asset Value as a stock assessment methods?

Under this method, the net value of assets of the company are divided by the number of shares to arrive at the value of each share. For the determination of net value of assets, it is necessary to estimate the worth of the assets and liabilities. The goodwill as well as non-trading assets should also be included in total assets.

The following points should be considered while valuing of shares according to this method:

* Goodwill must be properly valued

* The fictitious assets such as preliminary expenses, discount on issue of shares and debentures, accumulated losses etc. should be eliminated.

* The fixed assets should be taken at their realizable value.

* Provision for bad debts, depreciation etc. must be considered.

* All unrecorded assets and liabilities ( if any) should be considered.

* Floating assets should be taken at market value.

* The external liabilities such as sundry creditors, bills payable, loan, debentures etc. should be deducted from the value of assets for the determination of net value.The net value of assets, determined so has to be divided by number of equity shares for finding out the value of share.

Thus the value per share can be determined by using the following formula:

Value Per Share=(Net Assets-Preference Share Capital)/Number Of Equity Shares
