| | Planned obsolescence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Estimates of planned obsolescence can influence a company's decisions about product engineering; there is little business reason to make a product that lasts longer than anyone is expected to use it. | | | One of Vance Packard's criticisms of planning for Functional Obsolescence was related to an ethical principle. | | | But still, the philosophy of Planned Obsolescence had become a belief system that was being taken into account by industrial companies. |

| | Obsolescence is the functional or economic loss of property value; it is expressed as a percentage reduction in the remaining value of the subject improvement. | | | To quantify the amount of obsolescence to which it believes it is entitled, a taxpayer may use professional appraisal techniques. | | | Therefore, a market value estimate is appropriate in the context of obsolescence. |

| | Bonus - Obsolescence ID: How to identify and measure economic obsolescence in underperforming assets. |
| | One way to calculate the effect of economic obsolescence is to conduct an income overview, or “economic overlay,” in conjunction with the valuation of a company’s aggregate assets. | | | Economic obsolescence is a very relevant and material adjustment that merits attention when valuing tangible assets for a number of financial reporting and tax-related matters. | | | To the extent that they do not, and a company or product line is not profitable or as profitable as it once was, a potential buyer would pay less for the same assets vis-à-vis the assets in use in a more profitable enterprise. |

| | Aero 10 - Electronic Component Obsolescence |
| | When component obsolescence or equipment modification makes it necessary to replace a part in equipment that has already been certified, the process for approving the replacement part is based on proving, by test or analysis, that the equipment function is maintained. | | | In response to a number of industry trends, including component obsolescence, the current trend is to add or restructure maintenance agreements and practices to emphasize or guarantee long-term availability of systems and equipment. | | | The model uses net present value analysis and defines the most favorable redesign time as the point at which the total cost is lowest. |

| | Although obsolescence is an inevitable phenomenon, forethought and careful planning can minimise the risk of being confronted with the consequences: the operational impact and the potentially high costs. | | | Nevertheless, it is possible that unexpected obsolescence occurs, and in these cases an immediate, reactive action is required. | | | The selection of the appropriate components when designing a piece of equipment is a critical element of the pro-active obsolescence management approach. |

| | The history of section 234(a)(7) discloses a legislative purpose that the amount reasonably attributable to each year on account of obsolescence of tanibl e property used in the taxpayer's business is to be taken into account in ascertaining his taxable income. | | | January 31, 1918, it had become common knowledge, and was known to plaintiff, that prohibition would become effective, and that as a result plaintiff and others engaged in that business would suffer obsolescence in the value of their capital assets. | | | The sole question for decision is whether, in calculating its taxes for 1918 and 1919, plaintiff was entitled to any allowance for obsolescence of its buildings resulting from the imminence and taking effect of the prohibitory laws. |

| | The State Board contends that its award of a 20% obsolescence adjustment for changed usage should be affirmed. | | | Lowe’s first contends that the price paid for its facility did not warrant an assessment that was five times more than the purchase price, thus entitling it to a functional obsolescence adjustment to account for this discrepancy. | | | Lowe’s next argues that since the majority of its facility remained vacant throughout the tax year, it should be entitled to a higher functional obsolescence adjustment. |

| | Schumpeter and the Obsolescence of the Entrepreneur |
| | The conventional-wisdom analysis of Schumpeter's obsolescence thesis is in part a matter of oral tradition among students of Schumpeter (primarily those whose interest in Schumpeter traces to a concern with innovation and technical change). | | | Whereas innovation, and hence economic growth and development, was once the province of bold individual entrepreneurs, the modern age will see the passing of this form of economic organization in favor of a regime in which economic change has become a matter of routine and mechanical management. | | | More importantly, I will argue that Schumpeter's analysis of the obsolescence of the entrepreneur has another source: that it ultimately reflects an unresolved tension in his writings. |
