| 11:30am - 12:00pm | Asset Recovery: A Key Component in Any Business Plan
The salvage value, as a residual value, is calculated by using the normal useful life of the equipment and subtracting the expected effective age in years based on industry mortality rate standards for that type of equipment. The estimated percentage of salvage value is then applied to the original cost of the equipment. It is important to know if the equipment was new or used when placed into service by its current owner, and what the owner is defining as normal useful life of the equipment. If not, values may be way off when considering residual salvage value.
