Two different types of machinery and equipment appraisals

Summary Machinery and Equipment Appraisal Report:

A summary appraisal report estimates the value while following USPAP guidelines. The appraiser conducts an onsite visit to the location of the equipment and reports the values for each asset.

During the onsite visit, the appraiser confirms the location of the assets and records their details such as age, make, model, and serial number. The appraiser also checks if the assets are in good working condition and well-maintained.

Desktop Machinery and Equipment Appraisal Report:

A desktop appraisal report is another type of restricted-use appraisal report according to the USPAP guidelines. Clients order it when visual identification of the equipment is not required. It does not include a site inspection.

To prepare a desktop report, you provide us with a description of the equipment and any available pictures. An equipment appraiser then uses this information to determine the equipment’s value

Desktop reports are suitable for standard equipment and when it is possible to get more information from personnel. It is also useful when the existence of the equipment is spread across different locations.

How are appraisals Performed?

Appraisals use three primary methods:
sales comparison, cost, and income methods.

Sales Comparison Method:
When using the sales comparison method, we study the market for new and used equipment to determine pricing for that asset. We may refer to manufacturers, dealers, auction houses, or trade publications for pricing insights. The equipment’s age, condition, and remaining life are also considered to generate a pricing estimate.

Cost Method:
The cost method is used for unique or customized equipment with little market demand. The replacement cost takes into account the machine’s depreciation, remaining life, and condition.

Income Method:
The income method is used when a piece of equipment is connected to the revenue stream and yields contributions that can be tracked. This method values the equipment at the level of income it provides.
