Five years ago, Judy started the “Piece of Cake” bakery shop in New York City. The bakery specializes in specialty cupcakes baked and decorated in a

variety of popular and unique flavors. The bakery’s business has grown steadily during the five-year period. Income for the bakery has been $25,000,

$38,000, $45,000, $60,000, and $70,000 respectively. In addition, Judy has paid herself a salary of $35,000, $35,000, $40,000, $45,000, and $50,000

respectively during the five-year period. Although Judy loves the business, she has decided to sell the “Piece of Cake” bakery and move to San Francisco

where she plans to start a new and different business. Two of Judy’s trusted employees are thinking about buying the shop from Judy, and there are several

other potential buyers considering this investment. The big question is what is the value of the business? The business has a twenty-year lease, and the

ovens, display cases, and other business assets have a net book value of $95,000 and an appraised value of $105,000. Most businesses of this type sell

for about six times earnings.

Using the average income approach, the value of the business is:

Question 59: 1 pts

It is a good deal because the “true value” of the business would be its average income valuation plus $105,000 of assets or $585,000.

0% of points

The average income method values the expected future earnings of the business and therefore the assets are already considered in the valuation.

100% of points

Judy’s offering is good because the assets should be included in the valuation, but we should use the net book value because it included depreciation on the assets.

0% of points

Although it is true that the assets are worth about $100,000, it is clear the assets’ income producing value is much greater than the appraised value. Therefore, it is

clearly a good investment.

Using the same facts as in 106 above, Judy offers to sell the business for $550,000 to a person that operates a restaurant next door to the bakery. If

the restaurant owner is interested in buying this type of business, is Judy’s offer a good deal?

Assume for this question that the average income valuation of the business is $480,000. Judy has offered to sell the business to one of her employees for

$525,000. She explains to her employees that the price is a “good deal” for them because they should add the $105,000 appraised value of the business

assets to get to the “real value” of the business. What is your advice to the employees about Judy’s offer to sell at $525,000?

Under the “market approach” to valuation, there are three methods that can be used. Included are all of the following except:
