Factors Affecting Asset Value
Several factors can influence the value of plant and equipment.
Key considerations include:

•  Physical condition
•  Operating condition
•  Maintenance
•  Remaining useful life
•  Technology
•  Obsolescence
•  Location
•  Market demand
•  Availability of comparable assets

Condition Assessment
Asset condition can have a major influence on valuation.
The valuer may consider:
•  Physical condition
•  Operational condition
•  Wear and tear
•  Maintenance
•  Repairs
•  Modifications
•  Service history
•  Remaining useful life
Two identical machines can have different values when their 
conditions or maintenance histories differ.
Age, Depreciation & Obsolescence
The age of equipment can affect its remaining economic usefulness and 
market value.
A valuation may consider:
• Physical depreciation
Reduction in value resulting from physical deterioration.
• Functional obsolescence
Loss of value because newer or more efficient technology becomes 
available.
• Economic obsolescence
Value impacts caused by external market or economic conditions.
These considerations can help establish an appropriate asset value.
 Plant & Equipment Valuation Methods
Professional valuers may use different approaches depending on the 
asset and valuation purpose.
Common approaches can include:
•  Market comparison
•  Cost-based analysis
•  Depreciated replacement cost
•  Income-related analysis where appropriate
The selected methodology should reflect the characteristics of the 
asset and available evidence.
Plant & Equipment Valuation ACT states that its valuation methods 
are selected according to asset type, valuation purpose and available 
market data.
Market Comparison Approach

to help determine asset value.
A valuer may compare:

•  Recent transactions
•  Asset specifications
•  Age
•  Condition
•  Location
•  Market demand
Comparable sales can provide useful evidence where sufficient 
market information is available.
Cost-Based Valuation Approach

evidence is limited.
The analysis may consider:
•  Replacement cost
•  Reproduction cost
•  Depreciation
•  Physical deterioration
•  Functional obsolescence
•  Economic factors
The appropriate cost methodology depends on the asset and 
valuation purpose.

reporting.

information that reflects the appropriate value of their tangible assets.
