For mutual funds, the asking price is the net asset value plus any sales charges. also called asked price or offering price or ask.

Appraisal Definitions

Appraisal fee- Charges payable to a qualified appraiser for estimating the market value of a property, as a fixed fee or one based on a percentage of the estimated value.
Appraisal Procedure- Sequence of steps prescribed in an appraisal approach to arrive at an estimate of value. Also called valuation procedure.
Appraisal Report- Written estimate (not determination) of the value of a property, based on the findings of an appraiser.
Appraisal Right- In an acquisition or merger, the right of a dissenting stock holder to require the purchase of his or her shares at their fair market value as determined by an independent party. This provision prevents the firm's sale at less than its true worth.
Appraisal Value- Appraiser's opinion (not determination) of the current worth of a property based on factors such as area, location, improvements, and amenities. Generally, this value is arrived at by using one of three methods: (1) Cost approach, (2) Income approach, or (3) Market comparison approach.
Appraisement- Determination of the amount or extent of the liability of a party (who is not disputing the fact of being liable) by an independent and impartial third party, and not by the courts.
Appraiser- Is a person qualified by education, training, and experience to provide appraisals. also called evaluator.
Appreciated Asset- That has a higher market value than its book value or taxable value and which, upon its sale, will generate a capital gain.
Approaches to Value - the three recognized approaches used in appraisal analysis.

Book Value- A company's common stock equity as it appears on a balance sheet, equal to total assets minus liabilities, preferred stock, and intangible assets such as goodwill. This is how much the company would have left over in assets if it went out of business immediately. Since companies are usually expected to grow and generate more profits in the future, market capitalization is higher than book value for most companies. Since book value is a more accurate measure of valuation for companies which aren't growing quickly, book value is of more interest to value investors than growth investors.

Some of the most common values are as follows: Fair Market Value, Forced Liquidation Value, and Residual Value.
Cost Approach - Calculation of value beginning with a determination of the replacement cost of a new asset of the same or similar utility, followed by deductions for all forms of depreciation to the subject asset including; physical (age, condition), technological obsolescence and economic obsolescence
