Problem
Last class we discussed different ways to value a business. When analyzing the value of a business, whether it is a local pizza shop or a major corporation, it is most important to know what the dollar amount that you should not go above for that acquisition. Your assignment is to prepare a one page, double spaced, essay on what you would ask, analyze, compute, or any other methods that could be used to find the value of a business. This assignment is not limited to analyzing public companies, you can include questions, analysis, etc. that may be used for a private business as well. Just make sure to note when referring to private firms.
This is a finance course so be sure to include how you would utilize the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement in your analysis.
