, Step : You invest your cash in the machine, so cash diminishes and machine is
added to the debit side. (Balance sheet of Book Value)
Step : BUT the machine is a promising project and therefore it has a higher value
than the actual price of the machine. So you have to determine the value of the
project. (Balance sheet based on Market Values) Selling the machine for a higher
price than price of machine allows investment in new machines, expansion, etc.
Step : The value of the project also determines equity
Step : Due to the change in equity, there is also a change in the price per share (P)

, Thus, we create value if we invest in projects that are worth more than they cost. If
price goes up, market thinks that value is higher than cost of project (positive).
But, we destroy value if we invest in projects that are worth less than they cost. If

the wealth creation per share is - / = - . So P decreases with %.
