BCRI’s
Depreciation Tables are specifically designed to reflect the forward-looking
non-trended depreciation, value, and life characteristics of equipment
assets.
They reflect the realities of today’s rapidly changing
markets and capture all forms of depreciation and obsolescence impacting the useful
life of the subject property; including Physical Depreciation, Functional
& Technological
Obsolescence, and External or Economic Obsolescence.

depreciation and/or value are a consideration. Some of the potential
uses include, but are not limited to:

Functional
Obsolescence
- In
today's environment of rapid technological and regulatory
changes, functional obsolescence is often the dominant factor
impacting the depreciation and devaluation of personal property.
Our life-tables separately and objectively quantify functional
obsolescence.
-
Technological
Obsolescence
- Rapidly advancing technology is a major cause of functional
obsolescence. Technology Substitution, the ongoing replacement
of an older technology with a newer technology, typically yields
abnormal obsolescence levels. BCRI is skilled in the art of
technology forecasting and quantifying the impacts it has on the
level of obsolescence. Our depreciation tables reflect the
obsolescence resulting from technology substitutions.
