Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit and highly liquid,
temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out or the average cost method
and the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for certain qualifying domestic inventories.
Investments Investments in affiliates over which we have a significant influence, but not a controlling interest, are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Other investments are carried at market value, if readily determinable, or
at cost. All equity investments are periodically reviewed to determine if declines in fair value below cost basis are other-thantemporary. Significant and sustained decreases in quoted market prices or a series of historic and projected operating losses
by investees are strong indicators of other-than-temporary declines. If the decline in fair value is determined to be other- thantemporary, an impairment loss is recorded and the investment is written down to a new carrying value.
Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including any asset retirement
obligations, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting, the straight-line method of depreciation is used over the
estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for buildings and improvements and 2 to 16 years for machinery and equipment.
Recognition of the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets is required when there is
a legal obligation to incur such costs. Upon initial recognition of a liability, the cost is capitalized as part of the related long-lived
asset and depreciated over the corresponding assets useful life. See Note 11 Property, Plant and Equipment - Net and Note
17 Other Liabilities of Notes to the Financial Statements for additional details.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair
value of tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and certain other intangible
assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not

Inventories valued at LIFO amounted to $325 and $302 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Had such
LIFO inventories been valued at current costs, their carrying values would have been approximately $197 and $169 million
higher at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
