The determination of whether goodwill is impaired involves a significant level of judgment in the assumptions underlying the approach used to determine the estimated fair values of our reporting units. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessment are reasonable; however, these assumptions are judgmental and variations in any assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value. We will continue to evaluate goodwill on an annual basis as of October 1, and whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as significant adverse changes in operating results, market conditions, or changes in management’s business strategy indicate that there may be a probable indicator of impairment. It is possible that the assumptions used by management related to the evaluation may change or that actual results may vary significantly from management’s estimates.Other intangible assets are comprised of finite-lived intangible assets consisting primarily of brands (representing trademarks, trade names and know-how), customer contracts and relationships, and developed technology. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives which range from 3 to 20 years. Any potential impairment for definite-lived intangible assets will be calculated in the same manner as disclosed under impairment of property, plant, and equipment. Customer relationships are amortized in a manner that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed.Capitalized software: Capitalized software for internal use is included within Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Amounts capitalized are presented in Capital expenditures on our consolidated statements of cash flow. Capitalized software is amortized using the straight-line over the estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years. Amortization is recorded to Costs of sales on our consolidated statements of operations for software directly used in the production of inventory and Selling, general, and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations for software used for non-production related activities. Strategic investments: We have a variety of strategic investments that are classified as long-term
