Why market price of share differ from book value?
market value is based on demand for the asset, whereas book value is based off the asset's depreciation rate (BV= cost - accumulated deperciation) which is determined by useful life and salvage value. (cost-salvage rate/life)
Depreciation is a process of cost allocation and not valuation What does this mean?
Depreciation spreads the cost of a fixed asset over the useful life of that asset so a portion of that cost is recognized as an expense in each period that the asset is in service. The original cost, less the accumulated depreciation is the net book value of the asset. The net book value may not represent the actual market value of the asset. Depreciation is not concerned with the market value but rather the value of the contribution that the asset makes to the business.

What is market to market?
The meaning and/or use of a "market to market" analysis is to attempt to provide customers, stockholders, CEO's and everyone else under the sun, a way to accurately measure the value of an asset compared to the market in which the asset will be sold in. This market to market valuing of an asset attempts to gain an understanding of what an individual will profit or lose based on the difference between the "book-vale" of an asset, and the "market value" of an asset.

What is the difference between Book value and Market value?
Book value is the price paid for a particular asset. This price never changes so long as you own the asset. On the other hand, market value is the current price at which you can sell an asset. For example, if you bought a house 10 years ago for $300,000, its book value for your entire period of ownership will remain $300,000. If you can sell the house today for $500,000, this would be the market value. Book values are useful to help track profits and losses. If you have owned an investment for a long period of time, the difference between book and market values indicates the profit (or loss) incurred.
What is difference between market to book value and price to book value?
That is a good question that a lot of people get confused about. In accounting, assets are recorded on your books at cost (what you paid for them). That value (less any accumulated depreciation or impairment expense) is your book value. That is, your book value is based on what you paid for the asset as opposed to it's market value. A market value (fair value) is what that asset would sell for on the open market if you attempted to sell it. This is a very subjective judgment, which is the main reason accountants don't usually report assets at market value in the United States (there are some exceptions in relation to securities). A price is what an asset actually is being sold for. Price and market value are usually the same thing, but sometimes factors make price higher or lower than market value. This is usually as a result of government regulations, or company pricing policies.
