Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., asset age ratios
Based on: 10-K (filing date: 2021-02-25), 10-K (filing date: 2020-02-26), 10-K (filing date: 2019-02-27), 10-K (filing date: 2018-02-28), 10-K (filing date: 2017-02-28).
| 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’s fixed asset base is old or new. Newer assets are likely to be more efficient. | Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.’s average age ratio of depreciable property, plant and equipment improved from 2018 to 2019 and from 2019 to 2020. |
| Estimated total useful life | Over longer time periods, this ratio is a useful measure of company’s depreciation policy and can be used for comparisons with competitors. | Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.’s estimated total useful life of depreciable property, plant and equipment increased from 2018 to 2019 and from 2019 to 2020. |
| Estimated time elapsed since purchase | The approximate age in years of a company’s fixed assets. Useful for comparison purposes. | Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.’s estimated time elapsed since purchase of depreciable property, plant and equipment deteriorated from 2018 to 2019 and from 2019 to 2020. |
| Estimated remaining life | Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.’s estimated remaining life of depreciable property, plant and equipment increased from 2018 to 2019 and from 2019 to 2020. |
