Three Approaches
Asset Approach
This approach compares sales of similar items of like condition and utility. Used equipment dealers are a good source of this information. These dealers generally buy used equipment at values close to liquidation and then resell the items after required repairs, typically at values in the range of 40% to 75% of costs new depending upon the condition and market trends.
Market Approach
The Market Approach is defined as a general way of determining a value indication using one or more methods that compare the subject to similar investments that have been sold. It is a market-oriented concept based on the Principle of Substitution. This Principle assumes that the value of a thing tends to be determined by the cost of acquiring an equally desirable substitute.
Income Approach
The income approach is defined as a general way of determining an indication of value by using one or more methods that convert anticipated benefits into value. It is a widely recognized approach to estimating economic value. The income approach considers a business or other income-producing property more or less as though it were a money machine whose Purpose is to produce money for its owner.
