Strategic Supply From Tow Truck Pasadena Dadeland CA

By Donald Cooper


When it comes to running a logistics company there are a number of challenges and activities that you will need to go through a few times a year. These are of course all linked to your fleet. One of the biggest and often problematic activity is the need of tow truck pasadena Dadeland Ca. Owning a vehicle is an asset for the logistics company. It is essentially how it produces its business services and activities and if the property is no longer producing intended and desired outcomes and results it unfortunately needs to be written off.

Accountants and financial managers are well aware of the effects of assets depreciation on the financial books of the company. Assets such as machinery, equipment and vehicles depreciate and once they no longer have value in the company books they have to be discarded or replaced. Sometimes asset replacement takes place before the asset reaches its depreciation year, this is due to damage, failure to launch and the asset no longer producing quality products at efficient speeds.

Let s take a transportation or logistics business as our example. If the business currently has five trucks, two of which are depreciating in the current fiscal year and one is giving them problems then it would mean the business has to write off three trucks from their books. Which also means that there is a possibility of the business productivity being affected as they may only have two trucks functioning and working at some point in time.

The market value is the amount of money the vehicle in its current condition is actually worth in the market. That would be the amount of money they would get if they chose to sell it. Once the value is given the dealer or manufacturer will compare the value to the current value of a new one that does the same function as the one the company is trying to trade in.

The dealer will then give you the price of the new asset. Where the trade in value is subtracted from the selling price of the brand-new asset and you are given a receipt. On the receipt, you will see the balance owing. This is the amount you need to pay in order to buy the new truck. This price will of course be significantly lower than what you would have paid if you didn t trade in your old asset. Pay the balance and the new asset is yours at a rather reduced price.

Market value is the price that the dealer will give you for your two trucks that you happen to have to write off. Based on the assessment of each truck on their condition the dealer will give you a market price for each truck. This of course may differ, especially if the age of the trucks is different and if the condition of the trucks are different.

Once you have the market value of each truck you can go shopping for some trucks at the dealer s warehouse. Once you have selected the new trucks you want a calculation of disparity will be done. You will be given the summed total value of your trade in trucks. For illustration purposes let s assume its $55,000. The dealer will give you the summed selling price for the new trucks. Let s say $70,000. This means in order to buy the new trucks you need to top up by a value of $15,000.

Asset replacement is a big job, and requires plenty of effort from the business. It is however, still a very necessary business activity.
