Don't waste your time with this anymore.
The 'par value' as stated merely affects how shareholder equity accounts are balanced.
Par value + Paid in capital is the amount of cash received by the company in exchange for shares sold to investors
It has nothing to do with valuation.
Don't trade stocks with par value in mind.

Book value is more meaningful, assuming you can pin down the correct book value.
Ditto!
