Valuation of Plant & Machinery


Valuation of plant & machineries are valued by applying:

Cost Approach

considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation arising from condition, utility, age, wear and tear, or obsolescence present, taking into consideration past and present maintenance policy and rebuilding history.

Physical depreciation is the loss in value due to physical deterioration resulting from wear and tear in operation and exposure to elements. Deterioration due to age and deterioration due to usage are the main factors that affect physical condition. Physical condition due to wear and tear is proportional to use rather than age. Use is the best indicator to estimate physical deterioration.

Market Data or Comparative Sales Approach

considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustments made to the indicated market prices to reflect condition and utility of the appraised assets relative to the market comparative. Asset for which there is an established secondhand market comparable is best appraised by this approach.
