Currently viewing the definition of: Net Book Value
 
 
 The net book value of a fixed asset is determined by taking the cost price less accumulated depreciation. For assets such as plant and machinery the net book value will be used to establish the balance sheet value in the financial statements. By charging depreciation the cost of the asset is matched against the revenue it generates in the profit and loss account.
