Total assets less intangibles divided by the total of the market value of the security issue and the book value of liabilities and issues having a prior claim. This is used to determine how much of the market value of a certain class of securities would be covered in liquidation.

Overall Market Price Coverage

The amount of the market value of a security issue that would be reimbursed in the case of the company's liquidation. It is calculated as:

Overall market price coverage = (A - I)/(S + L)

where A is the value of the company's total assets, I represents its intangibles, S is the market value of the security issue being compared, and L is the value of the company's liabilities and issues with a prior claim.
