Verified Answer
Year 1 and Year 2: Total common stock / Par value per share = $500,000 / $5 = 100,000 shares.
To calculate book value per share at the end of Year 2, we can use the formula:
Book Value per Share = (Total Stockholders' Equity - Preferred Stock) / Common Shares Outstanding
We are not given any information about preferred stock, so we assume it is zero.
At the end of Year 2:
Book Value per Share = ($1,125,000 - 0) / 100,000 shares = $11.25 per share.
Therefore, the closest choice is (C), $11.25 per share.
