Cisco Systems Inc., asset age ratios
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2023-07-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-07-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-07-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-07-25), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-07-27), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-07-28).
| Asset age ratio | Description | The company |
|---|---|---|
| Average age ratio | As long as straight-line depreciation is used, this is an accurate estimate of asset age as a percentage of depreciable life. The relative age is a useful measure of whether the company fixed asset base is old or new. Newer assets are likely to be more efficient. | Cisco Systems Inc. average age ratio of depreciable property, plant and equipment deteriorated from 2021 to 2022 but then improved from 2022 to 2023 not reaching 2021 level. |
| Estimated total useful life | Over longer time periods, this ratio is a useful measure of company depreciation policy and can be used for comparisons with competitors. | Cisco Systems Inc. estimated total useful life of depreciable property, plant and equipment decreased from 2021 to 2022 but then increased from 2022 to 2023 exceeding 2021 level. |
| Estimated time elapsed since purchase | The approximate age in years of a company fixed assets. Useful for comparison purposes. | Cisco Systems Inc. estimated time elapsed since purchase of depreciable property, plant and equipment improved from 2021 to 2022 but then deteriorated significantly from 2022 to 2023. |
| Estimated remaining life | Cisco Systems Inc. estimated remaining life of depreciable property, plant and equipment decreased from 2021 to 2022 but then increased from 2022 to 2023 exceeding 2021 level. |
