Practice question from NISM XV Mock Test 5 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. A

    Book Value of the Share × Number of Shares Outstanding

  2. Market Price of the Share × Number of Shares Outstanding

    Correct answer

  3. C

    EPS of the Share × Number of Shares Outstanding

  4. D

    Face Value of the Share × Number of Shares Outstanding

Why this is the answer

Market capitalization represents the total market value of a company’s outstanding equity shares. It is calculated by multiplying the current market price per share by the total number of outstanding shares. Options involving book value, EPS, or face value do not reflect the actual market value of the company’s equity.
