Goodwill impairment method for determination of fair value description   Our discounted cash flow models are based on our most recent long-range forecast and, for years beyond the forecast, we estimated terminal values based on perpetual cash flow growth rates ranging from 2.5% to 4.0%. The models reflect management’s expectation of future market conditions and expected levels of financial performance for our reporting units, as well as discount rates and estimated terminal values that would be used by market participants in an arms-length transaction. Business operational risks which could impact profits are detailed in our “Risk Factors” disclosures. Discount rates used were intended to reflect the risks inherent in the future cash flows of the respective reporting units and were between 13% and 15%
