book value
Book value refers to a company's net value as indicated by its financial statements. It's calculated by subtracting all a company's liabilities, including outstanding loans, from its total assets, including land, buildings, equipment, patents, cash, etc. In terms of an asset, book value refers to the total original cost of the asset minus any depreciation, amortization, or impairment costs made against the asset. Generally, it represents the total tangible and intangible assets that shareholders will receive in case the company is liquidated.

Book value
In accounting, book value or carrying value is the value of an asset according to its balance sheet account balance. For assets, the value is based on the original cost of the asset less any depreciation, amortization or impairment costs made against the asset. Traditionally, a company's book value is its total assets minus intangible assets and liabilities. However, in practice, depending on the source of the calculation, book value may variably include goodwill, intangible assets, or both. When intangible assets and goodwill are explicitly excluded, the metric is often specified to be "tangible book value". In the United Kingdom, the term net asset value may refer to the book value of a company.
