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
`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.
How Asset Valuation Works in Favor of Financial Statement
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.
