Swedish term or phrase: återvinningsvärde
”I de fall en tillgångs värde överstiger dess beräknade återvinningsvärde”

I am inclined to say ’residual value’ for återvinningsvärde, but I think that present market value better represents the intention of what was meant here. However I am concerned that this changes what is actually written. Any comment, or opinions?

Explanation:
My suggestion because according to : http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Recovery

Recovery is defined as follow: 1. The act, process, duration, or an instance of recovering.
2. A return to a normal condition.
