 million and $29 million, respectively.Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsGoodwill assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. The Company has the option to use a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative test. In the current year, as part of the annual assessment, the Company used both a qualitative and quantitative approach to determine whether the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount.Events and circumstances we consider in performing the qualitative assessment include macro-economic conditions, market and industry conditions, internal cost factors, and the operational stability and the overall financial performance of the reporting units. When it is determined necessary for the Company to perform the quantitative testing process for goodwill, the Company estimates fair values using a discounted cash flow approach from the perspective of a market participant. Significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow approach are revenue growth rates and earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) margins used in estimating discrete period cash flow forecasts of the reporting unit, the discount rate, and the long-term revenue growth rate and EBIT margin used in estimating the terminal business value. The cash flow forecasts of the reporting units are based upon management’s long-term view of our markets and are the forecasts that are used by senior

management and the Board of Directors to evaluate operating performance. The discount rate utilized is management’s estimate of what the market’s weighted average cost of capital is for a company with a similar debt rating and stock volatility, as measured by beta. The terminal business value is determined by applying the long-term growth rate to the latest year for which a forecast exists. As part of our goodwill quantitative testing process, we would evaluate whether there are reasonably likely changes to management’s estimates that would have a material impact on the results of the goodwill impairment testing.Other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis or when determined to have a finite useful life. Substantially all of the indefinite-lived intangible assets are in trademarks and trade names. The Company uses the royalty relief approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of
