Example: If an asset has original cost of $1000, a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $100, compute its depreciation schedule. First, determine the years' digits. Since the asset has a useful life of 5 years, the years' digits are: 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Next, calculate the sum of the digits: 5+4+3+2+1=15
2. New assets that have a useful life substantially beyond one year. [3] For example, in Commissioner v. Idaho Power Co., [6] the taxpayer used its own equipment to construct and improve various facilities that it owned. The taxpayer sought to have the depreciation of the construction equipment treated as a deduction.
This is useful to estimate the failure rate of a system when individual components or subsystems have already been tested. [ 18 ] [ 19 ] Adding "redundant" components to eliminate a single point of failure may thus actually increase the failure rate, however reduces the "mission failure" rate, or the "mean time between critical failures" (MTBCF).
Assessing whether increased maintenance costs will economically change the useful life of an asset. [10] Calculating how much should be invested in an asset in order to achieve a desired result (i.e., purchasing a storage tank with a 20-year life, as opposed to one with a 5-year life, in order to achieve a similar EAC). [11]

The likelihood of occurrence of a dangerous or safe failure may differ and is a function of several variables in the construction and design of a component. A poorly designed switch may have a higher proportion of dangerous failures (thus a lower MTTF D ), whereas switches rated for use in safety circuits may very well preclude the occurrence ...
In the later life of the product, the failure rate increases due to wearout. Many electronic consumer product life cycles follow the bathtub curve. [ 1 ] It is difficult to know where a product is along the bathtub curve, or even if the bathtub curve is applicable to a certain product without large amounts of products in use and associated ...
