In the normal course of business, we extend credit to customers that satisfy pre- defined credit criteria, based upon the results of our recurring financial account reviews and our evaluation of current and projected economic conditions. Our primary concentration of credit risk is associated with Mclane Company, Inc., one customer served principally by our North America segment. As of December 31, 2019, Mclane Company, Inc. accounted for approximately 24% of our total accounts receivable. Mclane Company is one of the largest wholesale distributors in the United States to convenience stores, drug stores, wholesale clubs and mass merchandisers and the primary distributor of our products to Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our year-end accounts receivable. We believe that we have little concentration of credit risk associated with the remainder of our customer base. INVENTORIES. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value, adjusted for the value of inventory that is estimated to be excess, obsolete or otherwise unsaleable. As of December 31, 2019, most of our inventories, representing the majority of our U.S. inventories, were valued under the last-in, first- out method, with the remainder of the inventories valued under first-in, first-out method.

Note 3: GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The changes in the carrying value of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in millions): Goodwill balance, December 31, 2017 $ 821 Acquisitions - Pirate Brands and Amplify 1,096 Divestiture - Shanghai Golden Monkey (98) Foreign currency translation (18) Goodwill balance, December 31, 2018 $ 1,801 Acquisition - ONE Brands 178 Foreign currency translation 7 Goodwill balance, December 31, 2019 $ 1,986 We had no goodwill impairment charges in 2019, 2018 or 2017.HERSHEY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 3: GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS continued The following table provides the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of our other intangible assets as of December 31, 2019 (in millions): Gross Carrying Accumulated Net Amount Amortization Value INTANGIBLE ASSETS WITH FINITE LIVES Trademarks $ 1,212 $ (73) $ 1,139 Customer relationships 208 (41) 167 Patents 17 (16) INTANGIBLE ASSETS WITH INFINITE LIVES Trademarks 35 35 Total $ 1,472 $ (130) $ 1,342 The cost of intangible assets with finite useful lives is amortized on a straight-line basis. Our finite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of certain trademarks, customer-related intangible assets and patents obtained through business acquisitions. The weighted average amortization period for our finite-lived intangible assets is approximately 33 years, which is primarily driven by recently acquired trademarks. Total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $73 million, $64 million and $49 million, respectively. If certain events or changes in operating conditions indicate that the carrying value of these assets, or related asset groups, may not be recoverable, we perform an impairment assessment and may adjust the remaining useful lives. In 2019, sales and operating performance associated with our KRAVE Pure Foods, Inc. business were below expectations. In the fourth quarter of 2019, as part of a strategic review initiated by our leadership team, we updated our strategic forecast which projected under performance related to the Krave business primarily due to mainstream brands driving category volume and an increase in the overall competitive landscape. We deemed this to be a triggering event requiring us to test our Krave long lived asset group for impairment. Based on our assessment, we determined that the carrying value was not recoverable and calculated an impairment loss as the excess of the asset group's carrying value over its fair value. As a result of this testing, during the fourth quarter of 2019, we recorded an impairment charge totaling $112 million to write down the customer relationship and finite-life trademark intangible assets associated with Krave.HERSHEY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 11: RETIREMENT PLANS DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT PLANS.
