Assessment
of equipment - the calculation of the value of such property, which by its
characteristics can be attributed to the movable. Movable things include
things, money and securities that do not possess the characteristics of real
estate.
Equipment
valuation is a kind of appraisal activity that differs from other directions
with its huge variety of valuation objects. These may include movable property
such as vehicles, machinery, machinery, refrigeration equipment, devices for
various purposes, production lines and complexes, transfer devices, presses,
compressors, pumps, mobile power stations, transformers, power equipment,
computers, office equipment, tools , household appliances, furniture and many
other objects.
In
order to evaluate the equipment, information on the prices of analogues that
are on the market is collected, then the physical deterioration of the object
under investigation and the incomes that the owner can receive from the sale or
use of equipment are determined. The total value, which is reflected at the end
of the report, will depend on the weight of each factor in the complex.
Undoubtedly determining the impact on the value of the evaluated objects are
the prices for similar products, presented on the market. For the correct
selection of analogues, the correct identification of objects, the brand, the
exact name of the model, and the characteristics are of great importance. The
value obtained on the basis of market data is adjusted taking into account the
accumulated depreciation. Wear can be physical, functional, and economic.
Physical depreciation reflects a decrease in cost associated with the loss of
physical properties, such as appearance, functional due to a drop in
productivity relative to modern analogs, economic wear and tear is related to
external factors, economic, political, etc. The accuracy of the determination
of wear depends on the quality of the initial data. The presence of documents,
inspection of the facility, analysis of the compliance of its technical data
with modern analogues, information on the nature of operation - all this will
help to correct the accumulated depreciation.
Evaluation
of equipment involves three types of evaluated objects:
• One piece
of equipment. Used in determining the cost of technology for subsequent sale,
the definition of the insurance value of the property.

pieces of equipment that are not interconnected and independent of each other.
Used for revaluation of fixed assets.

production systems - a set of machines and equipment that have technological
connections to each other. Applicable in the event that the enterprise-owner is
liquidated, and the fixed assets are sold in such a way that the new owner can
start a similar production.

the operation of the equipment (whether it was used, how long it was used, the
duration of downtime, the intensity of operation).
• Condition
and information on repairs carried out. The condition can be assessed as
