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. GameStop Corp. average age ratio of depreciable property, plant and equipment deteriorated from 2022 to 2023 and from 2023 to 2024.
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. GameStop Corp. estimated total useful life of depreciable property, plant and equipment increased from 2022 to 2023 but then slightly decreased from 2023 to 2024 not reaching 2022 level.
Estimated time elapsed since purchase The approximate age in years of a company fixed assets. Useful for comparison purposes. GameStop Corp. estimated time elapsed since purchase of depreciable property, plant and equipment deteriorated from 2022 to 2023 but then slightly improved from 2023 to 2024.
