How is the equity value per common share calculated according to the text?

[Annual dividend / current market price * 100]
[Equity / common shares outstanding]
[Market value / EPS]
[Profits / equity]

The correct answer is: [Equity / common shares outstanding]

The method for calculating equity value per common share involves dividing the total equity by the number of common shares outstanding. This calculation provides a clear measure of the portion of the company’s equity that is attributable to each share. It effectively represents the book value per share of common stock. Using total equity ensures that you have a comprehensive view of the net assets available to shareholders, while the outstanding shares figure gives you the number of shares that are actively trading in the market. This approach thus allows investors to assess the value of each share based on the company's overall financial position. Other options presented may refer to related financial concepts but do not accurately define how equity value per common share is derived. For instance, calculating dividend yield or earnings per share are different measures that do not provide a direct calculation of equity value per share.
