Sec.  11.78  Computation of amount of award.

    (a) The amount allowed for damage to or loss of any items of 
property may not exceed the cost of the item (either the price paid in 
cash or property, or the value at the time of acquisition if not 
acquired by purchase or exchange), and there will be no allowance for 
replacement cost or for appreciation in the value of the property. 
Subject to these limitations, the amount allowable is either:
    (1) The depreciated value, immediately prior to the loss or damage, 
of property lost or damaged beyond economical repair, less any salvage 
value; or
    (2) The reasonable cost or repairs, when property is economically 
repairable, provided that the cost of repairs does not exceed the amount 
allowable under paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
    (b) Depreciation in value is determined by considering the type of 
article involved, its costs, its conditions when damaged or lost, and 
the time elapsed between the date of acquisition and the date of damage 
or loss.
    (c) Replacement of lost or damaged property may be made in-kind 
whenever appropriate.
