PPE Schedule - Microsoft

Overview Microsoft is one of the world's largest technology companies, investing heavily in data centers, cloud infrastructure, office facilities, and computer equipment to support products such as Azure, Microsoft 365, and Windows. These ongoing investments make PP&E forecasting an important part of the company's financial model. In this advanced practice, you will build a real-world PP&E schedule by forecasting CapEx by asset category and constructing a depreciation waterfall schedule based on each asset's useful life. You will then use the PP&E roll-forward to calculate Ending Net PP&E and link depreciation and CapEx to the three financial statements. Learning Goals Forecast CapEx by asset category using revenue-based operating assumptions. Build a depreciation waterfall schedule that reflects different useful lives and the assumption that new CapEx begins depreciating in the year after it is placed in service. Apply the PP&E roll-forward to calculate Ending Net PP&E from beginning PP&E, projected CapEx, and depreciation. Connect the completed PP&E schedule to the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement by linking depreciation expense and capital expenditures.
