 Market value added:              22,000,000 dollars

Explanation:

The market value added calcualtes the difference between the market value of a company (shares outstanding x market value) and investment made by shareholders (capital contribution) and bondholders (claim against capital)

In this case, we are given no inforamtion about a debt so we just consider the stockholders investmet:

MVA: market value - capital contribution

market value 2,000,000 x 28 = 56,000,000

capital contribution                    (34,000,000)  

   Market value added:              22,000,000
