A firm has enterprise value of Rs 5,000 crore, cash of Rs 400 crore, total debt of Rs 1,400 crore, and 50 crore shares outstanding. Assuming no other claims, the equity value per share is:

Equity value is enterprise value minus debt plus cash, which is Rs 4,000 crore, giving Rs 80 per share.

Explanation

Equity value = EV - debt + cash = 5,000 - 1,400 + 400 = Rs 4,000 crore. Per share = 4,000/50 = Rs 80... recompute: 5,000-1,400=3,600; +400=4,000; 4,000/50=80. None of the listed options matches, so the key is flawed.
