Steps Involved in Equipment Valuation
An important aspect of equipment valuation is making certain your
information is both current and accurate. That is why we take precise
steps in all equipment valuation assignments, including:
-
Identifying assets to be appraised
-
Defining purpose of the equipment appraisal
-
Establishing equipment valuation date for the appraisal
-
Determining appropriate concepts and approaches to be utilized during valuation
-
Determining type of valuation study to be completed
-
Selecting type of equipment appraisal report to be provided
-
Checking availability of data and information
The first step involved in machinery and equipment valuation
is identifying which assets will be appraised. These assets can consist
of machinery, fixtures, furniture, computer and networking equipment,
office and telecommunications equipment, vehicles, utilities, etc. An
equipment valuation is not limited to an individual piece of equipment.
A valuation can be used to determine the value of production lines, a
complete operating facility, or multiple operating facilities.
Appraisal Economics' machinery and equipment valuation services
can be used to appraise a variety of assets for a variety of different
reasons. Some of these reasons include, but are not limited to:
-
Accounting
-
Financing
-
Insurance
-
Leasing
-
Liquidation and bankruptcy
-
Management Planning
-
Tax
Our equipment valuation services can help you determine the fair market
value and estimated useful life of both new and used assets for the
purpose of sale or acquisition, identify the current residual value and
economic life of leased assets, and establish or verify your
appropriate insurance needs.

Regulatory commission (FERC) have paved the way for a more open
