Asset Liquidation Value Estimator
Estimates the forced or orderly liquidation value of assets by applying discount rates to their fair market values based on asset type and sale urgency.
Real Estate Fair Market Value ($)
Equipment / Machinery Fair Market Value ($)
Inventory Fair Market Value ($)
Accounts Receivable Fair Market Value ($)
Intangibles / IP Fair Market Value ($)
Sale Type
Orderly Liquidation (3–12 months) Forced Liquidation (< 90 days)
Estimated Liquidation Costs (% of Total FMV)

#### Formula
Gross Liquidation Value (per asset class):
LVi = FMVi × (1 − Discount Ratei)
Gross Total Liquidation Value:
Gross LV = ∑ LVi
Net Liquidation Value:
Net LV = Gross LV × (1 − Liquidation Cost %)
Recovery Rate:
Recovery Rate = Net LV / Total FMV × 100
Discount Rates Applied:
Asset Class Orderly LV Discount Forced LV Discount
Real Estate15%35% Equipment / Machinery30%50% Inventory35%55% Accounts Receivable20%40% Intangibles / IP70%90%
#### Assumptions & References
- Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV) assumes a reasonable exposure period of 3–12 months with motivated but not distressed sellers (ASA MTS Committee guidelines).
- Forced Liquidation Value (FLV) assumes an immediate or auction sale within 90 days under duress, typically yielding 20–30% less than OLV.
