Financial statements are useful for investors and can establish a company’s market value, but this may not be the same as the value that accountants ascribe to it – the book value of the firm. The gap between a firm’s market value and book value is far greater for knowledge intensive corporations than for firms with strategies based primarily on tangible assets. The market value of a firm is equal to the value of a share of its common stock times the number of shares outstanding. The book value of the firm is primarily a measure of the value of its tangible assets. It can be calculated by the formula: total assets minus total liabilities. Example = Apple, Google, Oracle, and Microsoft have very high market value to book value ratios because of their high investment in knowledge resources and technological expertise.
