Classification of Machinery & Equipment

When appraising any machinery or equipment we buy or sell, the first step is to properly classify it. In general, we categorize assets into two groups: marketable equipment and special-purpose equipment.

Marketable equipment is easier to value because ample data exists to support both reproduction and replacement costs, whether new or used. This allows us to establish reliable reference points that help inform an accurate estimate of the equipment’s value.

Special-purpose equipment, on the other hand, can typically only be referenced by its “replacement cost new.” Since these items have limited utility and little to no presence in the broader marketplace, each appraisal must be handled individually. Any loss of value is reflected on a case-by-case basis, as no comparable market prices exist the way they do for marketable equipment.

Depreciation in Appraisal

Fitzpatrick M5 FitzmillWhen a market price is set, then the depreciation begins. We factor this into the new price for the given machine or piece of equipment. During this consideration, we take into effect three types or causes: physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and economic obsolescence.

Physical deterioration is the loss in value or usefulness of a machine or piece of equipment. This deterioration occurs due to the expiration of its' usefulness, prolonged exposure to natural elements, internal defects from years of use, or any other factors that take place over the course of time.

Functional obsolescence is a fancy way of saying that this machine or piece of equipment is no longer useful. It is either inefficient or inadequate when compared to similar items. And replacing parts is more costly due to the more obsolete technology at hand.

Economic obsolescence is when the machine or piece of equipment losses economic standing and/or value. This is an external reason and has nothing to do with the asset itself. For example, there may be an increase in the cost of raw materials, labor or utilities that hurt the use of the asset. New environmental regulations, a reduction in demand, more competition, and inflation are also reasons for the loss in value.
