The liquidation value is the amount that common stockholders can expect to receive if the company is sold off, after all debts have been repaid. This represents the actual value of the common stock, as opposed to book value, which is based on the accounting value of the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. P/E multiple is a valuation ratio used by investors to measure a company's value while the present value of the dividends represents the present day value of all expected future dividend payments.
