ASSET-BASED

VALUATION
METHOD
Asset Valuation
● It is a process of determining the fair market value or present value of assets, using book
value, absolute valuation models like discounted flow analysis, option pricing model, or
comparable. Such assets include investments in marketable securities such as stocks,
bonds, and options: tangible assets like building and equipment or intangible assets such
as brands, patents, and trademarks.

Asset-Based Valuation
● It allows to calculate a business’s net worth by adding up the current value of its assets
less the value of its liabilities.
How to Value the Business Assets?
● Tangible Assets- determining the value of tangible assets is the net book value, which is the
value of the assets stated in the accounts. It can adjust the net book value figures to take into
account economic factors such as;
- Property or other fixed assets which have changed in value
- Bad debt to the business
- Old assets or stock which would have to be sold at a discount

The value of fixed assets can be determined using this method:


- Cost Method- the value of the assets is based on the price at which it was brought.
- Market Value Method- the value of the assets is based on its market price or projected price
when sold in the open market
-Replacement Value
-Net Realizable Value
How to Value the Business Assets?
● Intangible Assets- a common way of valuing intangible assets,
excluding goodwill:
- Market Approach- the value of assets based on the price which is
brought.
- Cost Approach- based on estimating the cost of constructing or
acquiring a new intangible asset that is more or less the same use as the
existing one.
- Income Approach- assumes the value of an asset in the present value
of future earning from the asset.
Importance of Asset Valuation
Asset Valuation is one of the most important things that need to be done by companies and organizations. There
are many reasons for valuing assets:
1. Right Price- asset valuation helps to identify the right price for assets, especially when it is offered to be
brought or sold. And also, it is beneficial to both buyer and seller because the former won’t need to pay
more than the asset value nor will be latter paid less than the asset value.
2. Taxes- the organization that owns property or other assets need to pay taxes on their assets by doing asset
valuation taxes are computed accurately.
3. Company Merger- in the event that the two companies are merging or if the company is to be taken over,
asset valuation is important because it helps both parties size up the business.
4. Loan Application- when the company applies for a loan, the bank or the financial institution may require
collateral protection against possible debt default. Asset Valuation is needed then for the lender is to
determine the loan amount that can be covered by the company offering its assets as collateral.

5. Audit- companies, especially public ones, are regulated, which means they need to present financial
audits and reports for transparency. Part of the audit process involves verifying the value of the assets.
How Asset Valuation Works in Favor of Financial Statement

`1. Accurate Financial Reporting- this valuation helps keep the value of assets stated in the financial
statement. Assets never have the same value from the day they were first purchased. A percentage has
to be deducted from their value for depreciation, part of a process we call asset valuation.

2. Valuation Save Time- the existing rules and regulations in submitting financial reports to the
Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Securities and Exchange Commission, delays are evident in
the financial reporting scene. Valuation saves time, money, and effort for your company as it helps
to avoid misstatements of asset value in reports and its corresponding penalties, thus making
Financial Reporting as efficient as it could ever be.

3. Valuation Validates Data- there are certain regulations that you would have to observe to establish
the authenticity of your report.

4. Avoid Tax Overpay- Corporate tax rates are quite high. When companies make a lot of profit, the
taxes they would have to pay will be relatively high. Usually, business owners get surprised at
how little they have left once they have paid taxes to the government.
