ECONOMIC MECHANISM OF ACCELERATING THE RATES OF RENEWING BASIC PRODUCTION ASSETS

摘要

In the basic approaches to the economic and social development of the USSR to the year 2000, the first priority is to lay out the goals for upgrading basic assets through a mare rapid replacement of low-efficiency equipment by more progressive and high producing units. It is necessary to upgrade over a third of the currently active equipment and - in comparison with the 11th five-year plan - to double the amount of obsolete industrial basic assets being removed. Current amortization policies are still aimed at maintaining basic assets in an efficient state. This is because of delays in the production of machines and equipment for non-ferrous metallurgy. The accumulation of obsolete and self-amortized basic assets in the division leads to reamortization, retards any increase in production volume, draws off considerable labor and material resources for low-effective and capital repairs, and leads to secondary transference of the cost of these assets to product costs.
