How to buy a computer from an employer?

Question

Work organization

We work remotely, but the home computer broke down, and I had to bring a working computer from work.
Unfortunately, there was a situation that the salary was not paid for a very long time, and therefore it was decided to quit.

And now there is nothing to repair a home computer, but I really like my work computer. I would like to keep it on payroll.

How to estimate the cost of a working machine if, for example, there are no monitors of this model for sale (at least in our city)? How much to drop off the cost, given that it has been in use for 2 and a half years?

Answer 1

It doesn't really matter how much a computer costs on the market.
If it was purchased by an organization, it has its value on the organization’s balance sheet, depending on how it was purchased (for example, with a licensed OS and other software, which may be listed as 1 set for it), and the accounting department does not have a the possibility of splitting this set.
There may or may not be depreciation.
Therefore, only an accountant can evaluate a computer, who writes it off the organization's balance sheet.
You first clarify whether they are ready for such an operation at all, and then "evaluate".

Answer 2

And where did you get that you will evaluate? The computer is working, it's not up to you to decide whether to sell or not.
The employer will estimate and say the price, if he agrees at all.
