| Existing corporation wants to show increased value of corporation based on annual sales/income. What are ways to increase value of the corporation, by not contributing cash or property? If they step up value of company asset value based on appraisal or business valuation, do they need to recognize Gain? What are proper treatments and account names to be used on F/S? | |

| One way is to use the international standards of accounting.
For your information there are ways to do what you ask, however, because the issue is complex I don't think simple answer can be posted here. | |

| discounted cash flow, lots of assumptions you can make. a slight change in discount rate would give value a big up and down...although you have to have solid proof to substantiate your assumptions. | |

| You should talk to Silicon Valey accountants..they artificially pumped up the value of tech firms for years. Or how about Enron accountants? Well, you might need a jail pass for that. | |
