January 2nd, 2024|Valuation Glossary|

Replacement cost new (RCN) is a method used to calculate the cost of replacing an asset with a new one at current market prices. It doesn't consider any depreciation or obsolescence that may have occurred over time. RCN is commonly used by insurance companies to determine the appropriate level of coverage for a particular asset or property.

Overall, RCN is a tool for assessing the cost of replacing an asset in the event of damage or loss.
