This report showing the status of Department of Defense real and personal property as of 30 June 1970 has been designed to meet the statutory requirement. The values reflected in the report for land and buildings and for long-life equipment, such as ships, represent acquisition cost. Acquisition costs of ships as well as land and buildings are often substantially below current replacement values. Construction in progress is valued on the basis of cost of material and labor incorporated in the projects under construction. The value of items other than major equipment in supply system inventories is generally based upon standard prices, representing replacement or estimated purchase price. The value of major equipment is derived from the unit cost based on the most recently executed contract for large quantity production. |
