Book value is a term used in accounting. This is the value of an asset (such as plant equiptment) that is shown on the accounting books (i.e. purchase price minus depreciation).
"1. The value at which an asset is carried on a balance sheet. In other words, the cost of an asset minus accumulated depreciation.
2. The net asset value of a company, calculated by total assets minus intangible assets (patents, goodwill) and liabilities.
3. The initial outlay for an investment. This number may be net or gross of expenses such as trading costs, sales taxes, service charges and so on." |

Assets minus liabilities, per the books of the company, equals equity equals book value. Divide the book value by the # of outstanding shares and you have book value per share. |

"Experts" , in most fields where anything has a dollar value (i.e. autos, baseball cards, coins, antiques) publish a "book" and list their opinions on what an item is worth.
These books are frequently out of date, realistically speaking by the time there published.
They are also only the opinion of the person publishing the "book".
A more realistic price is "market value". |

That is the value of your vehicle according to what year it is in Kelly's Blue Book. If you're ever in an accident and your car is totaled,this is what the insurance company is going to pay you for it. |
