Under American accounting standards, assets are typically valued at historical cost (less any accumulated depreciation or amortization). The alternative valuation is fair value, which is what that asset would be worth on the market. International Accounting Standards allow (but do not require) reporting at fair value. While the information may be more relevant, it is not necessarily reliable. Multiple appraisers could come up with completely different values for the same asset.
