    Valuation: What Assets Are Really Worth

     
    Know thy worth—and your appraiser.
    1/28/2002
    U.S. companies spend $1 billion each year on all types of asset appraisals, but are they getting their money's worth? Valuation: What Assets Are Really Worth, by appraisal guru Alfred M. King, shows financial managers how to evaluate an appraisal service. By understanding how appraisers ascertain values, managers can become better consumers of appraisal reports. King explores the differences between cost, value, and price, and outlines various valuation methods. He also gives practical advice on hiring an appraiser, reading appraisal reports, and negotiating valuation in adversarial situations. Whether you need to put a value on your whole company or just a part of it, this book will guide you through the process.
