Valuation of intangible assets and intellectual property

Depending on the purpose of evaluation, the following types of values are used in implementation of evaluation activities:

Market price

In general, according to the current legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan, evaluation can be carried out both voluntarily and forcefully. In valuation activities, 3 main approaches (methods) are used:

Cost approach is a property valuation method based on determining the cost of creating, changing and using property, taking into account all types of depreciation. The cost approach implements the principle of replacement which is expressed in the fact that the buyer does not pay for the finished object more than for creating a new, equally profitable object. The cost approach in evaluating machinery and equipment is to pay the cost of the full reproduction (complete replacement) of the valuation subject, subject to deducting the cost of losses of all types of depreciation and impairment. When determining the full cost of reproduction and replacement, all expenses are taken into account, including the cost of transportation, freight transportation, installation, commissioning, etc. The key element in determining the full cost of reproduction and replacement is the production cost of an object that is identical and similar to the valuation object (production costs)

Application of the income approach is carried out as a result of forecasting future income for several years. In most cases, this approach is not used in determining the cost of machinery and equipment, since the income is obtained as a result of the entire complex operation. An exception is objects that can themselves generate income (printing and duplicating equipment, a small bread factory, trucks, etc.). The cost of machinery and equipment, estimated using the income approach, is determined as follows: the net income of the production complex is calculated; the residual method determines the part of income related to the machinery complex; the capitalization method or a decrease in cash income measures the value of the entire machinery fleet; the value of individual objects is calculated at the carrying amount.

Suitable sales comparison approach is a set of cost evaluations of the property being valued, based on comparing the property being valued with a similar property whose transaction prices are known. The basis of this approach is that the value of the property being evaluated is determined directly according to the selling prices of similar objects. Each comparable selling price is compared with the selling price of the property being evaluated. It should be noted that evaluation of any type of property is required during mortgaging, buying and selling, privatizing, distributing, renting, insuring, taxing, determining damage, putting up for auction, liquidation of a legal entity, returning property for state needs and in other cases.
