Market Value of Equity and Total Value of Company

Ve= Market Value of equity
Vt= Total Market Value
Vd= Market Value of debt

Market Value of Equity Example

Company total market value is 250 million, the market value of debt is 50 million, and then market value of equity can be calculated as under
Ve= Vt-Vd
Ve= 250-50

Ve= 200 (Market value of equity)
