Any adjustments to reduce the cost of inventories to their net real- izable value are recognized in earnings in the current period. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which for buildings is the lesser of 30 years or the remaining life of the underlying building, between one and five years for ma- chinery and equipment, including product tooling and man- ufacturing process equipment, and the shorter of lease term or useful life for leasehold improvements. The Company capitalizes eligible costs to acquire or develop internal-use software that are incurred subsequent to the preliminary project stage. Capitalized costs related to internal-use soft- ware are amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years. Depreciation and amortization expense on property and equipment was $8.2 billion $8.3 billion and $9.2 billion during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Lumpally Re HDL Dorze podwill an ihanyi- ble assets with indefinite useful lives, rather, such assets are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. The Company performs its goodwill and intangible asset impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each year. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets during 2017, 2016 and 2015. For purposes of testing goodwill for impairment, the Company estab- lished reporting units based on its current reporting struc- ture. Goodwill has been allocated to these reporting units to the extent it relates to each reporting unit. In 2017 and 2016, the Company's goodwill was primarily allocated to the Americas and Europe reporting units. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with defi- nite useful lives over their estimated useful lives and re- views these assets for impairment. The Company typically amortizes its acquired intangible assets with definite useful lives over periods from three to seven years. Acquired Intangible Assets The Company's acquired intangible assets with definite useful lives primarily consist of patents and licenses. The following table summarizes the components of acquired intangible asset balances as of September 30, 2017. Amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets was $1.2 billion in 2017.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is mea- sured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to gener ate. If property, plant and equipment, inventory component prepayments and certain identifiable intangibles are consid- ered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair Value Measurements The Company applies fair value accounting for all finan- cial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and li- abilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be re- ceived from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk mea- surements or assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability, such as risks inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, PAAN A1 indd 9/1916 12:58 PM FINAL PAGES aptara Appendix A Financial Statement Information Apple Inc. Notes-continued APPLE which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Dividends The Company declared and paid cash dividends per share during the periods presented as follows: 2017 2016 Dividends Amount Dividends Amount Per Share (in millions) Per Share (in millions) Fourth quarter 0.63 $ 3.252 $ 0.57 $ 3.071 Third quarter 0.61 3 281 0.57 3.117 0.57 2988 0.52 2.879 First quarter 0.573042052 2898 Total cash dividends declared and paid $ 2.40 $ 12.561 $ 2.18 S 11.965 Segment Information and Geographic Data Level Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2-Observable inputs other than quoted prices in ac- tive markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive mar- kets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corrobo- rated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3-Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability The Company's valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of money market funds and certain marketable equity Securities were derived from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the Company's debt instruments and all other financial instruments, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were valued based on quoted market prices or model-driven val- uations using significant inputs derived from or corrobo- rated by observable market data In accordance with the fair value accounting require- ments, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eli- gible financial instruments.
