The maximum price was calculated using the discounted, simulation TC model and the Excel Solver add-in. The market price was lower than it. Therefore, non-financial and financial-accounting indicators have been used to measure technological waste, for example of glassworks. The study is of great practical importance, as it provides an exemple for solving the problem of the maximum price for the latest technology, makes the management aware of the existence of technological waste and influences the change of attitudes towards the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies. The dissemination of TC as a tool supporting the process of making investment decisions may contribute to the increase of the level of enterprises’ innovativeness.
