What are R&D instrument depreciation rates based on?

 


If you're just wondering if the guys in suits who say words like "depreciation" and "gestation lag" (and might seem like the sort of guys having fun in college while you were doing enzyme kinetic curves) are just making stuff up - they do appear to have some math to rely on here and there.

This comes from what might be the worst name of an academic journal I've ever heard of, but it's funny how much (what I can understand of it) seems to line up with reality.


That Orbitrap Velos didn't get more valuable while you were using it. It likely got less. And how long was it before you felt you really had to upgrade it to make your customers happy or to get to those low copy number proteins where all the cool stuff seems to hide?
