What is better market value or agreed value?
What is better market value or agreed value?
What is the difference between 'cost of manufacture' and 'cost of production' and why are we talking about it here?
As a general rule, agreed value is better than market value. The reason is that it takes away the personal preference and gives a more neutral result. It would be the same as saying: The price is 5. This would remove the personal decision from the result.
Agreed value is also a 'better' measure than market value because it accounts for the cost of production. This is the same as saying: The price is 5. I got it from the market for 3. Why did I have to pay that much? This would be useful if there are fluctuations in supply and demand and it makes sense to say how much value an object has.
Market value does not necessarily mean the fair value of the goods. If there is any other value, this is not taken into account and the price might have been lower. For instance, let's say the market value of a coffee machine is 300. It costs 15 to buy the coffee machine. Why should the coffee machine cost that much? It is just a coffee machine. It is not used by people to make money, therefore it is not useful for this purpose. The price should be set by the producer, the seller or the consumer. The market is not the right place to set the price. A coffee machine is not a valuable object. The market value is an indication of the price, but it does not mean it is a good idea to use the price to pay for the coffee machine.
The example above is a bit of a simplification. The market value of a coffee machine might be around 300 but the manufacturer might have been given a discount by the retailer for various reasons. We will get back to this later in the article.
Cost of Manufacture. If we are thinking about a product and its price we need to know its total cost. This means all the inputs needed for the product.
The price of a cup of coffee is 2.75. That is the market price. It is probably the cheapest coffee you will ever buy. However, when you look at the list of inputs it is the least expensive of the three coffees. The total cost is 0.90.
What is the difference between insured value and market value?
Insurance is calculated on the basis of current market value. Any depreciation, etc. That was applied during normal maintenance in the period from which the insurance is calculated is ignored by insurers. They assume your home has been well maintained in recent years.
When a new appraisal is done, or it changes significantly, the appraiser is allowed to "depreciate" the home according to the costs associated with maintenance, but insurers consider it a loss and adjust their rates accordingly. In many states, all state and federal subsidies are calculated based on a market value. A very helpful calculator can be found here: The difference is that home insurance, at least in Florida, takes into account current market value - or rather the value of the home as of 12/31/2017, regardless of any previous years, and not the insured value as an approximation of the home's worth at the time of loss. I believe that's true in most states as well - I'm not sure if there's a rule for this either in the US or Canada, or even in the US, regarding this. The general rule is that insured value, in the context of home insurance, is based on the original cost of the property - as of the date of the purchase (or more specifically, the date the insurance policy was issued) and it is discounted from the current value to determine the coverage amount. Insured value can change - for example if the property has been renovated (which increases its value), or even if the building was damaged by a fire.
What do insurers mean by market value?
How does insurance company assess what they pay for your home? The best way to know is to speak with your insurer. If you need more information, here are some resources: Ask the insurer what they mean by market value. There are several ways insurers can estimate a property's market value. For example, if your house has been on the market for six months and nobody has bought it yet, the insurer may value it at the price at which you originally bought it. Or, if there is a new housing development in your neighborhood, the insurer may value it based on the going rate of the other homes in the development.
If you are buying a home that has been on the market for some time, you can ask the insurer for a market-value estimate. Ask the insurer what they mean by replacement cost. Replacement cost is a common estimate used by insurers. Replacement cost refers to the cost of replacing your home if it was damaged or destroyed. An insurer may use replacement cost as a way to estimate the total cost of repairs or rebuilds needed to replace your home. Replacement cost is usually a good way to estimate the total cost of repairs or rebuilds.
In many cases, the amount of insurance you need depends on the total value of your home. This is called underwriting the policy.
