CAPITAL RETURN INDEX: CURRENT STATE AND GROWTH FACTORS

The scientific article contains an analysis of scientific literature on ensuring the efficient use of fixed assets in enterprises, research on capital productivity and capital intensity, and the development of main directions for the efficient use of fixed capital. The dynamics of the coefficients of renewal and disposal of fixed assets in the economy are presented in graphical form. The information base for the study was data from the official website of the Federal State Statistics Service. The maximum values of the renewal coefficient were observed in 2018, 2019 and 2022, and the minimum in 2015, 2020 and 2021. The maximum values of the retirement rate are presented in 2014, 2015 and 2016, and the minimum in 2019, 2020 and 2021. An econometric study of the capital productivity index showed an inverse and very weak relationship with the value of gross domestic product and the cost of fixed assets (the value of the correlation coefficient (index) (-0.1)): with an increase in the value of gross domestic product and the value of fixed assets in the period under study, no growth was observed capital productivity index. The value of the gross domestic product and the cost of fixed assets have a direct and close relationship (the value of the correlation coefficient (index) is 0.9): the annual growth of the gross domestic product is accompanied by an increase in the cost of fixed assets. A matrix of correlation coefficients (indices) was constructed to calculate the total correlation coefficient (index). The result of calculating the total correlation coefficient (index) (its value is 0.4) showed that there is a direct and weak connection between the capital productivity index, the value of the gross domestic product and the cost of fixed assets: the growth of the capital productivity index is weakly related to the growth of the gross domestic product and the cost of fixed assets funds.
