Capital Expenditures At October 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively, commitments for capital expenditures were $17 million, $15 million, and $11 million respectively. At October 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, liabilities related to capital expenditures that are included in accounts payable were $2 million, $1 million, and $2 million, respectively. Leases We lease certain land, buildings, and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases and capital leases expiring at various dates through 2025. Operating leases generally have 1 to 20 year terms, with one or more renewal options, with terms to be negotiated at the time of renewal. Various leases include provisions for rent escalation to recognize increased operating costs or require us to pay certain maintenance and utility costs. Our rent expense for the years ended October 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 was $57 million, $62 million, and $74 million, respectively. Rental income from subleases for the years ended October 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013 was $11 million, $10 million, and $7 million, respectively. Future minimum lease payments at October 31, 2015, for those leases having an initial or remaining non-cancelable lease term in excess of one year and certain leases that are treated as finance lease obligations, are as follows: (in millions)FinancingArrangementsand CapitalLease Obligations  OperatingLeases Total2016$10 $56 $66201710 44 54201810 38 4820199 31 4020209 28 37Thereafter11 45 56 59 $242 $301Less: Interest portion10    Total$49    Asset Retirement Obligations We have a number of asset retirement obligations in connection with certain owned and leased locations, leasehold improvements, and sale and leaseback arrangements. Certain of our production facilities contain asbestos that would have to be removed if such facilities were to be demolished or undergo a major renovation. The fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligations as of the balance sheet date has been determined to be immaterial. Asset retirement obligations relating to the cost of removing improvements to leased facilities or returning leased equipment at the end of the associated agreements are not material. |
