Book Value

#1
Hi Friends,

I know that Book Value = Assets - Liabilities;

During computation of the book value of a particular company...........which all assets and what all liabilities should we consider.

Because as per the above formula, I tried with the balance sheet..........Assets - Liabilities the value comes to zero.

Your help is appreciated,
Thanks in Advance.

Sometimes book value is misleading. There can be fictitious assets. Land and building are often under-valued due to conservative accounting norms. Replacement value of everything can be much more than book value. I'm myself learning about this.
