Types of appraisals
There are two basic types of Appraisal Reports which can be provided by Alamo Corporate Group. Either of these reports will provide the desired result for the client and are provided both in an electronic version along with a bound printed copy.
SUMMARY APPRAISAL REPORT
A summary appraisal report is typically utilized for estimating
the value of machinery and equipment. On-site inspection details are
included in the appraisal report. This USPAP compliant report expresses
value as a single figure for each tangible asset valued and the
aggregate is reported as a single number.
The Summary Appraisal Report is a way of communicating the values of individual pieces of equipment which in turn provide the basis for the entire value being reported. This type of report typically will include a remaining expected useful life of the major pieces being appraised as well as brief descriptive comments. Representative photographs are also included in the report to allow the reader to better understand the basis of the value being reported.
DESKTOP APPRAISAL REPORT A desktop appraisal report is typically used to determine value without the expense of an on-site inspection and detailed analysis of the condition of the machinery or equipment. By using photographs provided by the client of the equipment to be appraised and pertinent manufacturers’ information, a defensible and credible appraised value can be determined.
Types of value
Clients may find that the type of value desired from an appraisal assignment may have different conditions and terms. Valuation concepts help to clarify for the parties the goal of the valuation report.Valuation Concepts
The following terms are used to describe the definition of value in
standard appraisal theory. These concepts may be expanded or redefined
as the purpose or function of an appraisal may dictate, as long as the
fundamental concept is not altered.
- Reproduction cost new is the current cost of reproducing a new replica of a property with the same or closely similar materials.
- Replacement cost new is the current cost new, of a similar new property having the nearest equivalent utility as the property being appraised.
- Fair Market Value is the estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that may be reasonably expected for a property in an exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both fully aware of all relevant facts, as of a specific date.
- Fair Market Value in Continued Use is the estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that may reasonably be expected for a property in an exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both fully aware of all relevant facts, including installation, as of a specific date, and assuming that the earnings support the value reported. (This amount includes all normal direct and indirect costs to make the property fully operational and may not readily pertain to aircraft.)
- Fair Market Value – Installed is the estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that may reasonably be expected for an installed property in an exchange between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both fully aware of all relevant facts, including installation, as of a specific date. (This amount includes all normal direct and indirect costs, such as installation and other assemblage costs, to make the property fully operational but does not have to be supported by the business earnings.)
- Fair Market Value – Removal is the estimated amount, expressed in terms of money, that may reasonably be expected for a property, between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither under any compulsion to buy or sell and both fully aware of all relevant facts, as of a specific date, considering the cost of removal of the property to another location.
- Liquidation Value in place is the estimated gross amount expressed in terms of money that could typically be realized from a failed facility, assuming that the entire facility would be sold intact within a limited time to complete the sale, as of a specific date.
- Orderly Liquidation Value is the estimated gross amount expressed in terms of money, that could be typically realized from a liquidation sale, given a reasonable period of time to find a purchaser(s) with the seller being compelled to sell on an as-is, where-is basis as of a specific date.
- Forced Liquidation Value is the estimated gross amount expressed in terms of money that could be typically realized from a properly advertised and conducted public auction, with the seller being compelled to sell with a sense of immediacy on an as-is, where-is basis, as of a specific date.
- Salvage Value is the estimated amount expressed in terms of money that may be expected for the whole property or a component of the whole property that is retired from service for use elsewhere, as of a specific date.
- Scrap Value is the estimated amount expressed in terms of money that could be realized for the property if it were sold for its material content, not for a productive use, as of a specific date.
- Insurance Replacement Cost is the replacement cost new as defined in the insurance policy less the replacement cost new of the items specifically excluded in the policy, if any, as of a specific date.
- Insurance Value Depreciated is the insurance replacement cost new less accrued depreciation considered for insurance purposes as defined in the insurance policy or other agreements, as of a specific date.
