capacity associated with an asset.

•  Capitalisation rate
•  Asset productivity

This methodology can be relevant for certain income-
producing fixed assets.

replacing an asset while accounting for relevant depreciation.
Analysis Can Consider:

•  Age
•  Condition
•  Remaining useful life
•  Functional characteristics
