Week 13 Reading Reflection

Reading Reflection
For each reading reflection post, I ask you to address the following areas:

1)      What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations? 

What I found surprising about the reading was how much consideration and all the little details you have to take into consideration when trying to financial evaluate a venture. Things that I had not considered where part of a financial statement and could be considered an asset where part of the evaluation and that surprised me.

2)      Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you. 

       I didn’t find anything confusing about this particular chapter.

 

3)      If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why? 

What type of an attorney should a prospective buyer hire to facilitate the transaction? Other than public records to research to see if any liens/lawsuits exist against a venture should a prospective buyer look at?

4)      Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How? 

I don’t think the author got anything wrong. The tables used for the different methods for venture valuation where very clear and provided a lot of good examples on how the venture can be evaluated.
