APPRAISAL OF UNIÃO TERMINAIS AND LEXINGTON
 
4.1.  
METHODOLOGY USED
 
ASSETS APPROACH – NET EQUITY VALUE AT MARKET PRICE
 
This methodology derives from generally accepted accounting principles (PCGA), where financial statements are prepared based on the principle of historic or acquisition cost. Due to this principle and to the fundamental principle of accounting, the book value of the assets of a company less the book value of its liabilities equals the book value of its net equity.
 
On the other hand, the basic principles of economics allow us to create the following appraisal technique: the value defined for assets less the value defined for liabilities equals the value defined for a company’s net equity. From an appraisal perspective, the relevant value definitions are those appropriate to the objective of the appraisal.
 
The appraisal of assets, therefore, aims at appraising a company according to the adjustment of the book value (net balance) to its respective fair market value. The assets and liabilities deemed relevant are assessed by their fair market value, with a comparison being made between this value and the book value (net balance).
