Furniture and fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation of furniture and fixtures and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives that range from two to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the related leases.
For some assets, owners can simply choose a number of years for the depreciable life, referring usually to the asset's expected useful life. For other kinds of assets, however, this life is prescribed by the country's tax authorities. In the US, for instance, computing hardware has a stated depreciable life of 5 years.
