• Valuation of Capital Assets• Assets should be reported at historic cost 

– Donated assets at the estimated fair market value at the time of acquisition

• Depreciation of Capital Assets• Capital assets should be depreciated over their estimated useful lives

– Use your entity’s historical information  to determine the useful life – the life will vary according to use of the asset
