1-18.15 Investment Recovery

Opportunities for investment recovery need to be identified for the existing product that is being replaced and, during preplanning, for when the new products are to be replaced. In the former, the issues include, but are not limited to, what to do with the displaced product, how to write off any remaining depreciation value, and how to phase out the supporting assets (parts, test equipment, supplies, etc.) while the old product is being phased out. For investment recovery of new equipment, potential disposal issues and opportunities for recouping any of the Postal Service costs need to be identified. Additional information on investment recovery can be found in Section 2-12, Develop Preliminary Investment Recovery Plan.
