Looking to sell some property you own? First you need to figure out how much it is likely worth. This process is called "asset valuation."
In business terms, the asset in question might be a division of the company, or a particular product line, or a piece of property, or even financial assets, like stocks and bonds. Experts use various ways to evaluate the value of an asset, depending on the type of asset. Some assets, like stock, have relatively obvious valuations (they trade all day on a stock exchange with constant price updates). Others might be more difficult, since there might not be an instant market. At the end of the day, assets, generally speaking, are worth whatever someone else is willing to pay for them. And that doesn't include Grandma paying $20 for that clay pot you made in 3rd grade.

Finance allah shmoop what is control value dance on a
fifty shades thing Well there's a partnership a semi evil
one there was once a tv siri's It was exorbitantly
expensive to produce but everyone wanted to make it So
it ended up being made not by one studio but
by three viacom paramount disney and then news corp fox
Before it was disney news corp fox well each of
the three partners put in a third of the money
and split all the money distributions equally The problem on
the show ended up being hugely successful when it ran
for the first time on network tv so that was
great but now it's in reruns and because all three
competitors generally hate each other he's financially if their job
too none are willing to run the show a lot
on their cable network or broadcast network because then they
generate revenues for their hated competitors so they don't run
the tv series even though people want to see it
And this is a big fat bummer to the actors
writers and producers of the show who were banking on
rerun royalties to pay for their divorces if one of
the studios owned the siri's I'ii controlled it let's call
that siri's sunlight ing well then the siri's would heir
a ton more and presumably generate a ton more desperately
needed revenues What do you think divorce lawyers work for
free Well the control value of owning that asset then
is huge because if it were owned by one player
well then that player could run it again and again
and again and again on their network like think big
