Methods of Valuation

There are a few different methods of valuation to determine the fair price of a piece of machinery.  When it comes down to it, there are three popular ways to determine the value of a piece of equipment through an appraisal. These three methods of valuation are:

• The Cost Approach
• The Direct Market or Sales Comparison Approach
• The Income Approach

The Cost Approach is the starting point for many appraisals. This method is based upon the principle of substitution. Which means the maximum value of a property to a knowledgeable buyer would be the amount currently required to construct or purchase a new asset of equal utility. When the subject asset is not new, the current cost must be adjusted for all forms of depreciation as of the effective date of the appraisal.

The Direct Market or Sales Comparison Approach bases its value on the assumption that we can compare the price of the asset through the analysis of similar transactions in a secondary or used market. When we use this method, we adjust for differences in age, condition, capacity, utility, location, the date of the sale, the type of sale, and/or the costs of transportation, assembly and installation at a new site.

The Income Approach examines the earning capacity of the business assets being investigated. This method is the least common of the three when valuating machinery and equipment.
