• valuing business by taking present value of husband’s earnings over next 11 years without excluding reasonable yearly compensation for him improper because it gave wife forced share of husband’s postmarital income

• it was reversible error not to consider the terms of the buy-sell agreement which create contingencies that affect the value such as the possibility the shareholder might die or be disabled before he realizes the full value of his interest
