 of cost in inventories include raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. We routinely assess inventory for both potential obsolescence and potential declines in anticipated selling prices to derive a market value for the inventory on hand. This review also includes an analysis of potentially obsolete, unmarketable, slow-moving, or overvalued inventory. If necessary, we will impair any inventories by an amount equal to the difference between the value of the held inventory (i.e., cost) and its estimated net realizable value for FIFO and average cost inventories and market value for LIFO inventories.Property, plant, and equipment: Owned assets are recorded at cost. Also included in the cost of these assets is interest on funds borrowed during the construction period. When assets are sold, retired or disposed of, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated balance sheet, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected within the consolidated statement of operations. Repair and maintenance costs that materially add to the value of the asset or prolong its useful life are capitalized and depreciated based on the extension of the useful life.Repair and maintenance costs: We expense routine repair and maintenance costs as we incur them. We defer expenses incurred during planned major maintenance activities and record these amounts to Prepaid and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred amounts are recognized as expense ratably over the shorter of the estimated interval until the next major maintenance activity or the life of the deferred item. The cash outflows related to these costs are included in operating activities within the consolidated statement of cash flows. The timing of this maintenance can vary by manufacturing plant and has a significant impact on our results of operations in the period performed primarily due to lost production during the maintenance period.Depreciation: The cost of property, plant, and equipment is depreciated, utilizing the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the assets, the majority of which range from 20 to 40 years for buildings and leasehold improvements and 5 to 30 years for machinery and equipment. The following table provides details on the useful lives and proportion of our machinery and equipment (“M&E”) in each useful life category.Percent of M&E CostDepreciable Life in YearsTypes of Assets275 to 10Production control system equipment and hardware, laboratory testing equipment1315Control systems, instrumentation, metering equipment3720Production vessels and kilns, storage tanks, piping625 to 30Blending equipment, storage tanks, piping, shipping equipment and platforms, safety equipment240Machinery & equipment
