You have recently decided to purchase a local building supply store. The business has passed the initial screening test and you are ready to begin discussing prices with the present owner. An independent appraisal has calculated the tangible net worth of the business to be $175,000. You determine the rate of return on an investment of similar risk to be 25 percent. You plan to draw a salary of $19,000. Your CPA estimates the net profit of the business (before your salary is deducted) to be $75,000. The present owner has selected a goodwill value of $65,000, and is asking $240,000 for the business.
