Gift

A gift is considered equipment if it meets the equipment definition (value greater than $5,000 and a life expectancy of more than one year).  University departments are responsible for approximating the fair market value of a gift at the time of receipt.  If the approximate fair market value is $5,000 or more and the life expectancy is more than on year, then the gift must be tagged and inventoried.

Unit Cost
