$19.62

Explanation:

Common Equity shown in the balance sheet is always shown at its par value.

Common Equity (Par value) : $5,125,000

Number of shares: 650,000

Book value per share = Common Equity (par value) ÷ Number of shares

Book value per share = $5,125,000 ÷ 650,000

Book Value per share = $7.88

Market Value per share = $27.50

Difference between Firm's Market value and book value = $27.50 - $7.88

Difference between Firm's Market value and book value = $19.62
