The gross amount for property and equipment is $777,739.
The net amount for property and equipment is $484,641.
The gross amount for assets acquired under capital leases is $3,612.
The net amount for assets acquired under capital leases is $1,600
The amount for capital leases is not material. It represents less than 1% of total debt obligations.
The Westinghouse bonds are worth $1,520,674, and the capital lease obligation is only $400, so the capital lease obligation is not material for the total debt.
The total minimum future lease payment is $359,382 as at 2010.
The principal, using the 2/3 rule, would be $239,587.
The operating leases are very much material compared to the capital leases. The capital leases are less than 1% of the total leases.

The profitability of this company is declining. The margins are not as good, which is the main sign. While revenues increased in 2011, the net earnings increased very little, indicating that while the company continues to enjoy top line success, that is not translating to the bottom line.

Yahoo increased its margins significantly in 2010. The company's gross margin improved only a few percentage points, but the company's revenue was declining, and Yahoo made the successful move to shrink the size of the company in 2010, thereby reducing the operating expenses. This led to the substantial improvement in the operating and net margins. The company's overall profitability increased as a result, so even though the sales/fixed assets ratio declined, the returns on assets measures, and ROE, all improved significantly.
