Fixed Assets Budget - Part 5

Part 5  - Determine the Forecasted Current Market Value of each Fixed Asset Category

The Forecasted Current Market Value refers to the estimated worth of your fixed assets on the last day of each forecasted business year (IE your year end). Therefore, Murray must determine the estimated value of his fixed assets on December 31, 200X and on December 31, 200Y. To do this, simply subtract each category's accumulated deprecation from the cost of each fixed asset (or appraised values, if any).

Fixed Assets Budget - Part 1

Part 1  -  Determine the Fixed Assets You Plan to Invest into the Business

Often entrepreneurs have personal fixed assets that can be used in their businesses. For example, many entrepreneurs invest their personal computer, their photocopier, their fax machine, a building, land, their car, and so on, into their business. Once such assets are recorded on the company's books, they're no longer considered personal assets; that is, they become the property of the business.

Fixed Assets Budget - Part 3

Part 3  -  Estimate each Fixed Asset's Deprecation for each Forecasted Year

As fixed assets are used, their values decrease. In other words, fixed assets depreciate in value over time as they are used. There are four methods you may choose from to estimate the reduction in value of fixed assets. These methods are: straight-line depreciation, units-of-production depreciation, declining-balance depreciation, and sum-of-the-years depreciation.
