Paragraphs:
Computer Equipment, Software, Furniture, and Leasehold Improvements, Net
Computer equipment, software, and furniture are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term. Depreciation expense was $59.2 million in fiscal 2019, $67.6 million in fiscal 2018, and $73.1 million in fiscal 2017
Computer equipment, software, furniture, leasehold improvements and the related accumulated depreciation at January 31 were as follows:
Costs incurred for computer software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized for application development activities, if material, and immediately expensed for preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities. These capitalized costs are amortized over the software’s expected useful life, which is generally three years.
Question:
