10. The Income Approach
“Prediction is difficult, especially about the future.”
--Niels Bohr
11. The Market Approach
Compare to comparable investments
Price to Earnings Ratio
Total Capital to Revenue Ratio
Total Capital to EBITDA
Etc.
Rely (theoretically) on the valuation arithmetic
performed by others
12. The Market Approach
But do we know when irrational exuberance has unduly
escalated asset values, which then become subject to
unexpected and prolonged contractions…”
- Allan Greenspan
13. The Asset Approach
Also known as the cost approach
How much is our stuff worth?
How much do we owe our creditors?
The difference is the value of our equity.
Problem: How do we value certain types of stuff?
14. The Asset Approach
“I cannot change the fact that my paintings do not sell. But

worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.”
