Abstract

This paper models a machine replacement and capacity expansion problem as an infinite-horizon linear program. We establish a strong duality result and show that stationary dual prices are optimal, regardless of initial conditions. These prices measure the economic value of owning vintage machinery and thus define depreciation schedules. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for straight-line depreciation.
