  • Valuation means to determine what is current worth of an asset or company. Value may be determined by many techniques/methods like income approach,  Cost approach, market approach etc depending upon type of valuations required to be done.
  • The Cost Approach values intangible assets by accumulating costs that would currently be required to replace the asset.
  • The Market Approach values intangible assets by using prices paid in actual transactions. The transaction price, as a ratio of an asset attribute, such as revenues that is observable in both the market transaction and the subject intangible asset are used to derive a market multiple.
  • The income approach measures value by reference to the economic benefits expected to be received over the remaining useful economic life of the goodwill.

Under the income approach, risks that are not already reflected in future cash flows must be considered in the discount rate.
