Summary of Estimated Useful Lives of Assets | The Company records fixed assets at cost. We compute depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method on the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally as follows:
Asset Description |  | Asset Life
Capitalized software |  | Lesser of the life of an associated license, or 4 to 7 years
Leasehold improvements |  | Lesser of estimated useful life or lease term, not to exceed 10 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment |  | 4 to 10 years
Computer equipment |  | 4 to 6 years
