Painting Valuation Approaches

This problem practices how to approach valuation when a traditional discounted cash flow framework does not work because the asset has no operating cash flows. Candidates need to recognize that the right way to think about the value is through market evidence, especially by comparing similar assets and looking at what buyers have actually paid. Interviewers ask this kind of question to test judgment, flexibility, and whether you can choose the appropriate valuation method based on the nature of the asset rather than forcing a standard corporate finance model onto everything.
