Accounting About appreciation in accounting the emotion gratitude In accounting , appreciation of an asset is an increase in its value. In this sense it is the reverse of depreciation , which measures the fall in value of assets over their normal life time. Generally, the term is reserved for property or, more specifically, land and buildings. Applied to a currency , appreciation is a rise of its value in a floating exchange rate . In times of high inflation , appreciation of assets will be common to all balance sheet assets. In any viable modern economy, such property tends to increase in value over the years if only because of the scarcity of usable land forces its price in a competitive situation. However, this belief has often caused Economic bubble speculative bubbles to arise. There are considerable difficulties in assessing the increase in value of any particular asset. This is principally because of the variety of interpretations that can be attached to the concept of Value economics value itself, as well as the various instruments and methods used in the Valuation finance valuation process .

Orphan date February 2009 Cleanup date February 2007 Stock appreciation rights SARs is a method for companies to give their management or employees a bonus if the company performs well financially. Such a method is called a plan . Stock appreciation rights SARs and Phantom Stock phantom stock are very similar plans. Both essentially are cash bonus plans, although some plans pay out the benefits in the form of shares. SARs typically provide the employee with a cash payment based on the increase in the value of a stated number of shares over a specific period of time. Phantom stock provides a cash or stock bonus based on the value of a stated number of shares, to be paid out at the end of a specified period of time. SARs may not have a specific settlement date like options, the employees may have flexibility in when to choose to exercise the SAR. Phantom stock may pay dividends SARs would not. When the payout is made, it is taxed as ordinary income to the employee and is deductible to the employer. Some phantom plans condition the receipt of the award on meeting certain objectives, such as sales, profits, or other targets. These plans often refer to their phantom stock as performance units. Phantom stock and SARs can be given to anyone, but if they are given out broadly to employees, there is a possibility that they will be considered retirement plans and will be subject to federal retirement plan rules. Careful plan structuring can avoid this problem. Because SARs and phantom plans are essentially cash bonuses or are delivered in the form of stock that holders will want to cash in, companies need to figure out how to pay for them. Does the company just make a promise to pay, or does it really put aside the funds? If the award is paid in stock, is there a market for the stock? If it is only a promise, will employees believe the benefit is as phantom as the stock? If it is in real funds set aside for this purpose, the company will be putting after tax dollars aside and not in the business ... more details
