The Old Man and the Tree: A Parable of Valuation
Adapted from Solomon, Schwartz & Bauman,
Corporations – Cases and Materials at 143 (3d ed. 1996).
*****
Once there was an old, wise man who owned an apple tree. It was a fine tree. With modest care it yielded a crop of apples which he sold for $100 each year. The man wanted money for new pursuits and thought of selling the tree. So, hoping to teach a good lesson, he placed an ad in the Business Opportunities section of the Wall Street Journal: “For sale, apple tree – best offer.”
