What is Book Value?

Book value or carrying value is the Net worth of an asset that is recorded on the Balance Sheet. An asset's book value is equal to its carrying value on the balance sheet, and companies calculate it netting the asset against its accumulated depreciation. Book value is also the Net Asset Value of a company calculated as total assets minus intangible assets (patents, goodwill) and liabilities. For the initial outlay of an investment, book value may be net or gross of expenses such as trading costs, sales Taxes, service charges and so on.

How Book Value Works?

Book value is calculated by taking a company's physical assets Iike Land, buildings, computers, etc., and subtracting out intangible assets such as patents and liabilities -- including preferred stock, debt, and accounts payable. The value left after this calculation represents what the company is intrinsically worth.
