    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).
