You have just been made a valuation analyst. Before you gettraining (what else is new!) your boss asks you to value a numberof items: 1) a publicly-traded company; 2) a family business; 3) ashopping center; 4) an oil refinery; 5) a patent or trademark; andby the way 6) did the local tax assessor correctly value hishouse? How might you go about these tasks? While the courseconcentrates on the first two items we will discuss at least inpassing the remaining ones. I dont expect everyone to comment onevery situation but I am looking for a variety of comments to helpestablish the base from which we are proceeding.
