Answer:

One issue a business can encounter if its keeps an asset beyond its useful life is the eventual impairment of the business production as a result of the use of a defective equipment or asset, that is, not suitable for economic production because it has already fulfilled its utility cycle.

Thus, for example, if a company continues to use old or obsolete machinery, it runs the risk that said machinery will cause damage or a decrease in the quality of the products.
