The valuation of a company and its stock can be determined in many ways. The
concrete way to determine value of a company is to measure all of its assets. Adding up
all the dollar amounts of the assets on the balance sheet. Start with physical assets and
move on to intellectual property. Then there are the principals, employees, sweat equity
and customer relationships. Another way to measure value is to estimate a company’s
potential earning power. How big is the potential market? How many competitors does
the company have? This will decrease the value of a company’s stock. (Zwilling, 2009)
The biggest factors to perceived value and what we see on a balance sheet can be
different depending on a company’s potential. Potential will not show up on a balance
sheet. But investors and executives can see the potential in a product or a service a
company has to offer. Ways to increase value are to increase the quality and increase the
amount.
In the Bible it is said that, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (NIV). God
increased the value of people and the earth by sending his son to the earth. Jesus was
perfect in every way and he gave many people self worth, He added value.
