Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives for buildings range from five to 15 years, leasehold improvements range from two to ten years – representing the applicable lease terms plus reasonably assured extensions, computer equipment and software range from two to three years, and furniture and equipment range from one to five years. Land is not depreciated.
During fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, depreciation expense was $863 million, $723 million, and $647 million, respectively. The majority of depreciation expense in all years related to computer equipment.
