Q1 Mark Cartwright is trying to sell his business. He asked you, as a GW MBA, to value the business for him, so he can decide how to price it. You ran two scenarios of the forecast, then you ran the FCF VALUATION MODEL for each scenario, A & B above. Reconcile the two scenarios by examining their inputs and outputs, and recommend to Mark how much you think his business is worth. Include a justification based on your analysis and reconcilation of the two scenarios. HINT: How do Scenario A&B assumptions (inputs) differ?

Q2 After you finished the FCF Valuation (previous tab), you learned of a business similar to Cartwright Lumber that was sold recently to a new owner.

Explain the results of your Market Multiples analysis in the box provided.

Q3 Reconcile the FCF Valuation results with the Market Multiples Valuation results.

Q4  Instead of the FCF Valuation and the Market Multiples Valuation, is it valid to use a simple capitalization formula, such as the formula on page 97 of the Cohen Finance Workbook? Calculate the value of Cartwright using that formula and discuss the implications.
