Ratio Analysis of Fixed Assets

When I looked at the Balance sheet of The Home Depot’s last 3 years, the two most recent numbers for the Property, Plant, and Equipment were:

2012: 24,069

2013: 23,348

The depreciation of their assets is calculated in a straight-line method and the useful lives are as follows:

Buildings 5-45 years

Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment 2-20 years

Leasehold Improvements 5-45 years

As for intangible items all I can tell is that they consider it goodwill. I have not found an actual list of what they are calculating together

For 2013 the percent of net fixed assets compared to total assets were 59% and for 2014 the percent of net fixed assets compared to total assets 58%
