Replacement cost refers to the amount of money one would currently spend to replace an asset at current market prices. Sometimes referred to as a "replacement value," a replacement cost may fluctuate, depending on factors such as the market value of components used to reconstruct or repurchase the asset and the expenses involved in preparing assets for use.
