Abstract

-Valuation variance, one of the valuation errors, has been explored by researchers all over the world in relation to valuation of land and buildings; however, there is dearth of this research on plant and machinery. This research is in a bid to harmonizing values of these assets amongst estate valuers particularly at this propitious time when the Financial Reporting Act of 2011 has paved way for more enforceable statutory valuations in Nigeria. This study as against most arbitrary placed margin of errors is in furtherance to an earlier pedagogic work that entailed the review of related literatures from where an allowable range of ±5% error was permisible and an interval estimate of an appropriate depreciated value at a 95% confidence level was adopted from basic statistics to give a reasonable ±9.8% margin of error. The researchers hereby opine that adherence to thie result in practice will help in capacity development of Estate Valuers who have the statutory preserve to undertake valuations of all assets
