Net asset value (NAV) is a term that is used in Mutual funds. It is the current value of the assets held under the investment.

Let us say a mutual fund house has 100,000 units in the market at a face value of $10 then the MF house would have collected $1,000,000. This amount will be used to purchase shares. Here $10 is the face value or the initial NAV of the mutual fund.

After say 3 months, the value of the investments (shares and other Stock Market instruments) have increased and the net assets in the fund is $1,500,000 then the current NAV is $15. The Net asset value of the mutual fund has increased by $5 in the past 3 months.
Net asset value of the business means the firms total assets less its total liabilities.

Depreciation is a process of cost allocation and not valuation What does this mean?

Depreciation spreads the cost of a fixed asset over the useful life of that asset so a portion of that cost is recognized as an expense in each period that the asset is in service. The original cost, less the accumulated depreciation is the net book value of the asset. The net book value may not represent the actual market value of the asset. Depreciation is not concerned with the market value but rather the value of the contribution that the asset makes to the business.
