Value added is a term in financial economics for calculating the difference between market value of a product or service, and the sum value of its constituents. It is relatively expressed to the supply-demand curve for specific units of sale. [ 1 ]
The firm's market value added, is the added value an investment creates for its shareholders over the total capital invested by them. MVA is the discounted sum (present value) of all future expected economic value added: = = = (+)
The formula for MVA is: = where: MVA is market value added; V is the market value of the firm, including the value of the firm's equity and debt; K is the capital invested in the firm; MVA is the present value of a series of EVA values.
Determine the different value elements that impact a customer (both positive and negative). [3] Assign a monetary value for each element. Determine the selling price of the next-best-alternative to the product or service offered. [citation needed] The cumulative monetary value for each element is known as the "total additional value."
Market price is a familiar economic concept: it is the price that a good or service is offered at, or will fetch, in the marketplace. It is of interest mainly in the study of microeconomics. Market value and market price are equal only under conditions of market efficiency, equilibrium, and rational expectations.
This may be consistent from the point of view of the definition of value-added used, but will provide a misleading view of economic activity and gross profit income, if in fact the proportion of property income in the national income increases. At the same time, value-added includes the imputed rental value of owner-occupied housing.
Marx's term is the German word "Mehrwert", which simply means value added (sales revenue minus the cost of materials used up), and is cognate to English "more worth". It is a major concept in Karl Marx's critique of political economy. Conventionally, value-added is equal to the sum of gross wage income and gross profit income.
Economic value is not the same as market price, nor is economic value the same thing as market value. If a consumer is willing to buy a good, it implies that the customer places a higher value on the good than the market price. The difference between the value to the consumer and the market price is called "consumer surplus". [3]
