Answer:

Enterprise value = $2,333,333.33

Explanation:

This is an example of perpetuity cashflow problem. Ler formulate the all the number in this exercise as below:

Enterprise value = Net cashflow_1/(1 + Cost of capital) + Net cashflow_2/(1 + Cost of capital)^2 + Net cashflow_n/(1 + Cost of capital)^n

When n approach infinity and net cashflow in every year is the same, the reduced form of above formula is:

Enterprise value = Net cashflow/Cost of capital

Putting all the number together, we have:

Enterprise value = 350,000/15% = 2,333,333.33 (this shoube be the asking price for the business).
