      2.11 Property and Equipment

    Property and equipment are stated at its cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditures that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

     

    Depreciation of all property, plant, and equipment, except for land is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

     

         Estimated Useful Life

    Buildings

       5 – 40 years

    Structures

       5 – 40 years

    Machinery and equipment

    (Telecommunications equipment and others)

    Others

       2 – 40 years

    Vehicles

       4 – 6 years

    Tools

       4 – 6 years

    Office equipment

       2 – 6 years

    The depreciation method, residual values and useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and, if appropriate, accounted for as changes in accounting estimates.
