"Fixed assets are recorded at cost at date of acquisition for purchased items. Donated items are recorded at fair market value on the date received. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable asset. Estimated lives range from 5 to 50 years. Since land does not have an estimated useful life, it is not depreciated."
