Tangible
Assets
Accurate, defensible valuations of tangible assets play a critical role in many business situations, ranging from the mundane to the esoteric. Real and personal property valuations are important for tax and financial reporting, asset monitoring, property insurance, ad valorem taxes and replacement budgeting. At the other end of the spectrum, valuation of assets can be an indispensable tool in establishing prices, justifying positions to stockholders and satisfying governmental concerns in the course of corporate mergers, acquisitions, refinancing and restructuring.
Real property includes industrial, commercial and municipal land, building improvements, and easements. Personal property refers to machinery, equipment, inventory, motor vehicles, trade fixtures, furniture, computer equipment, wiring, piping and the like.
At Appraisal Economics, we have the personnel, expertise and
resources to provide detailed property analyses and valuations
using several perspectives, including comparable sales, replacement
cost and income approaches. Also, we maintain a comprehensive
system of personal property class coding that we use to provide
a more detailed valuation for specific types of assets --a
more detailed and accurate process than simple gross trending
for all machinery and equipment. Our depth and experience
make it possible for us to deliver these services in a timely
fashion, even under tight deadline pressure.
Along with an asset valuation's important function in specific
applications such as insurance claims and taxes, maintaining
an accurate property record increases control over major investments
in facilities and equipment. In order to optimize cash flow
and secure the most favorable tax treatment, property owners
must be able to distinguish between costs associated with
real property and personal property. Our valuations have stood
up to review by local, state and federal regulatory agencies,
and it is Appraisal Economics' policy to support our valuations
whenever they are challenged.
