Valuation

This section of the form shows the current valuation information for this Asset. An Asset must be marked as a Valuation Asset to be able to hold information in this section. This section is broken down into a series of sub sections.

The current value of the asset is shown in the Remaining Depreciable Amount, which is a result of this calculation:

Asset Value = Last Valuation + Accumulated Capital Works – Assessed Residual Value – Accumulated Depreciation

Field

Description

Original Cost

The original purchase or construction cost of an Asset. The amount can be entered manually or will be taken from the cost specified on the “Purchase” or “New Works” Action processed against on a Proposed Asset to bring it onto the books

Last Valuation

This is the value of the Asset as calculated during a Revaluation process or as specified on a Journal transaction. The Revaluation process uses the Replacement Cost Rate specified on the Asset Type times the Measurement of this asset. Note that the Replacement Cost amount and the last Valuation amount of an Asset can differ.

Accumulated Capital Works

This is the total capital work expenditure recorded against an Asset since the last valuation. The amount is the sum of all the costs as specified on New Works Actions processed against the Asset or as specified on a Journal transaction. When using a Journal to amend this value, please provide the total Accumulated Capital Works amount.

Depreciable Amount

Calculated by adding the Last valuation and the Accumulated Capital Works amounts and then subtracting the Assessed Residual Value.  The result is the full amount by which the Asset can be depreciated.

Accumulated Depreciation

This calculated field is the amount that the Asset has depreciated up to the Last Transaction Date. See This Formula for how it is calculated.

Remaining Depreciable Amount

This is the Amount remaining, yet to be depreciated as at the Last Transaction Date.

Last Transaction Date

The date of last recorded transaction process:

Valuation, Depreciation, Purchase, New Works, Disposal, Journal Adjustment

This date is displayed as the closing period in the list of transactions. Further financial transactions cannot be processed on this Asset prior to this date, unless the relevant transactions are rolled back.

Expiry Date

This field displays the expiry date as calculated and can be manually changed here. The expiry date is a mandatory field on a depreciable Asset.

Valuation Asset

This check box will determine whether this Asset will be valued. This is set from the Asset Type but can be unchecked here if this Asset is not to be valued. Once an asset has been valued, un-checking this check box with cause the value to be written back and will be recorded as a write back transaction.

Value by Children

Selecting this in conjunction with the Valuation Asset checkbox will cause the Asset to be valued by the standard rates of its children rather than its own.

Valuation Child

Selecting this checkbox ensures that a higher-level Asset will use this Assets rate to determine value rather than its own. To be selected there must be an Asset higher in the hierarchy that is defined as a valuation Asset and is valued by children.

Checked indicates that this Asset will be depreciated; the default is set from the Asset Type. If this asset is not to be depreciated for whatever reason then un-check this box.

Measurement

This value is derived from the Dimension field specified on the Asset Type, “Dimension to Value By”. If this is not set in the Asset Type then the Measurement can be entered manually on the Asset.

This amount is calculated by adding the replacement rate and the modify rate by figures and then multiplying the sum by the measurement. This value is an indication of the cost to replace this Asset and not necessarily equal to the current value of the Asset.

Displays the percentage of value left in an Asset when the Asset ends its life. This is specified in the Asset Type.

Modify Residual By

The user can reduce or Increase the percentage of Residual Life for this particular Asset.

Manually Set Checkbox

This check field determines whether the Assessed Residual Value field will be calculated or entered manually.

Assessed Residual Value

The value displayed here can be:

    Entered manually to a value determined outside of Conquest II - the “Manually Set” check box should be set to true

    Calculated using information specified in Conquest II. The calculation is done when an Asset is revalued or purchased or the “Manually Set” checkbox is toggled – Ticked to Unticked. The formula is:

Revaluation: (Replacement Cost Rate * measurement) * (Standard Residual percentage plus or minus Modify Residual by percentage)

Purchased: Cost of purchase * (Standard Residual percentage plus or minus Modify Residual by percentage where the Standard Residual percentage is specified on the Asset Type and the Modify Residual on the Asset.

Note that once the residual value is calculated for an Asset, it changes only upon a further revaluation or when manually set.
