Not sure that \"usable\" contributes anything either, so you finish up with
deterioration and obsolescence of fixed capital assets

Thanks very much to Igor for his note. I think the word needed is \"equipment\", so we finish up with
Deterioration and obsolescence of capital equipment.
The word \"fixed\" doesn\'t really work with mobile equipment! |

2 hrs confidence:
3 hrs confidence: Deterioration and obsolescence of the active part of industrial / production fixed assets
Explanation:
Deterioration and obsolescence of active part of industrial fixed assets
Deterioration - физический износ, obsolescence - моральный.
Думаю, "активная часть" обозначает станки и другое "раьочее" оборудование, т.е. не пассивные активы, не здания, не дороги.
"Основные ... фонды" - fixed assets, уже обсуждалось.
Не уверен в слове "industrial". Может правильнее "production"

David,
- the word \"equipment\" is a bright idea, but still far from the original. Computers are equipment as well, but we need machines and everything else, which does some work in a workshop. \"Machinery and equipment\"? Please comment!
- by the way, \"active part\" sounds terrible in Russian as well :), but it\'s a term, good or bad (rather bad than good).
- I do not like the word \"capital\" in \"capital equipment\"... Machinery and equipment are, as a rule, classified as fixed assets in accounting, everything else are tools etc.

13 hrs confidence: physical wear and obsolescence...
Explanation:
Дальше - как у Igor Zabuta
Deterioration - это скорее распад, разложение, может не иметь никакого отношения к износу
