Problem:
In the financial management component of M&A activity, valuing a company is extremely important given how many deals fail and how many Acquirers overpay. Pricing the transaction, (i.e. calculating the value of the target), can be performed using a variety of methods. Of all the methods/models (26 in total) discussed in class, select four, and in your opinion, describe how they can provide you with a "reasonable" purchase price/Fair Market Value. Be Specific! Discuss the limitations that may exist for each!
