in this case it is accounting for the "appraisal" value of the asset
again, the lack of a viable market on a given day does not truly reflect the long term value.
a slurpee is not worth as much on a day when it's 5 degress outside and snowing compared to a summer day of 110 degrees. there may be only one person willing to buy that slurpee for a dime on the winter day, on the 100 degree summer day people will be lining up willing to pay over a $1. if the co is forced to value the slurpee based on the winter day's market, it's undervalued compared with what it's possibly worth.
