What is the difference between fair value and market value?
What i understand is that fair value is actually the market value but it could be different because it is price agreed between the seller and buyer and either the buyer negotiated the price which means it is going to be lower than the market value or seller has convinced the buyer to pay more for the asset than it actual market price?
For example the seller is ready to sell the asset for $100,000 but the buyer negotiated the price and seller agreed to accept $90,000 even though the marker price of the assets was $100,000?
Another scenario is that the seller has convinced the buyer for the potential benefits of the asset and buyer is willing to pay more for the asset to $120,000 even though the actual market price is $100,000?
Please correct me.

I’ve read your question through twice and I’ve reached the conclusion that this is a question more appropriate for either the FA paper of the FR paper.
If indeed it is a law question, could you please direct me to a specific extract from the source of your query – or even just the context?
Thank you
August 11, 2024 at 11:40 pm #709531I didn’t know that. Could you please explain a bit to me?
August 12, 2024 at 8:39 am #709549Hi again, Natasha
You say ‘I didn’t know that’
What do you mean? What is there about my initial response that you didn’t know?
I’m lost, sorry
