in 2007, we expect our total capital investments to be approximately $3.2 billion, which may include long- term leases. these investments will be used to maintain track and structures, continue capacity expansions on our main lines in constrained corridors, remove bottlenecks, upgrade and augment equipment to better meet customer needs, build and improve facilities and terminals, and develop and implement new technologies. we designed these investments to maintain infrastructure for safety, enhance customer service, promote growth, and improve operational fluidity. we expect to fund our 2007 cash capital investments through cash generated from operations, the sale or lease of various operating and non-operating properties, and cash on hand at december 31, 2006. we expect that these sources will continue to provide sufficient funds to meet our expected capital requirements for 2007. for the years ended december 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, our ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 4.4, 2.9, and 2.1, respectively. the increases in 2006 and 2005 were driven by higher net income. the ratio of earnings to fixed charges was computed on a consolidated basis. earnings represent income from continuing operations, less equity earnings net of distributions, plus fixed charges and income taxes. fixed charges represent interest charges, amortization of debt discount, and the estimated amount representing the interest portion of rental charges. see exhibit 12 for the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges. financing activities credit facilities 2013 on december 31, 2006, we had $2 billion in revolving credit facilities available, including $1 billion under a five-year facility expiring in march 2009 and $1 billion under a five-year facility expiring in march 2010 (collectively, the "facilities"). the facilities are designated for general corporate purposes and support the issuance of commercial paper. neither of the facilities were drawn on in 2006. commitment fees and interest rates payable under the facilities are similar to fees and rates available to comparably rated investment-grade borrowers. these facilities allow for borrowings at floating rates based on london interbank offered rates, plus a spread, depending upon our senior unsecured debt ratings. the facilities require the maintenance of a minimum net worth and a debt to net worth coverage ratio. at december 31, 2006, we were in compliance with these covenants. the facilities do not include any other financial restrictions, credit rating triggers (other than rating-dependent pricing), or any other provision that could require the posting of collateral. in addition to our revolving credit facilities, we had $150 million in uncommitted lines of credit available, including $75 million that expires in march 2007 and $75 million expiring in may 2007. neither of these lines of credit were used as of december 31, 2006. we must have equivalent credit available under our five-year facilities to draw on these $75 million lines. dividends 2013 on january 30, 2007, we increased the quarterly dividend to $0.35 per share, payable beginning on april 2, 2007, to shareholders of record on february 28, 2007. we expect to fund the increase in the quarterly dividend through cash generated from operations, the sale or lease of various operating and non-operating properties, and cash on hand at december 31, 2006. dividend restrictions 2013 we are subject to certain restrictions related to the payment of cash dividends to our shareholders due to minimum net worth requirements under our credit facilities. retained earnings available.

of prior service cost or credits, and net actuarial gains or losses) as part of non-operating income. we adopted the requirements of asu no. 2017-07 on january 1, 2018 using the retrospective transition method. we expect the adoption of asu no. 2017-07 to result in an increase to consolidated operating profit of $471 million and $846 million for 2016 and 2017, respectively, and a corresponding decrease in non-operating income for each year. we do not expect any impact to our business segment operating profit, our consolidated net earnings, or cash flows as a result of adopting asu no. 2017-07. intangibles-goodwill and other in january 2017, the fasb issued asu no. 2017-04, intangibles-goodwill and other (topic 350), which eliminates the requirement to compare the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill (commonly referred to as step 2) from the goodwill impairment test. the new standard does not change how a goodwill impairment is identified. wewill continue to perform our quantitative and qualitative goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, but if we are required to recognize a goodwill impairment charge, under the new standard the amount of the charge will be calculated by subtracting the reporting unit 2019s fair value from its carrying amount. under the prior standard, if we were required to recognize a goodwill impairment charge, step 2 required us to calculate the implied value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the amount of the charge was calculated by subtracting the reporting unit 2019s implied fair value of goodwill from its actual goodwill balance. the new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after december 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied prospectively from the date of adoption. we elected to adopt the new standard for future goodwill impairment tests at the beginning of the third quarter of 2017, because it significantly simplifies the evaluation of goodwill for impairment. the impact of the new standard will depend on the outcomes of future goodwill impairment tests. derivatives and hedging inaugust 2017, the fasb issuedasu no. 2017-12derivatives and hedging (topic 815), which eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after december 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. we do not expect a significant impact to our consolidated assets and liabilities, net earnings, or cash flows as a result of adopting this new standard. we plan to adopt the new standard january 1, 2019. leases in february 2016, the fasb issuedasu no. 2016-02, leases (topic 842), which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements for both lessees and lessors. the new standard is effective january 1, 2019 for public companies, with early adoption permitted. the new standard currently requires the application of a modified retrospective approach to the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements. we are continuing to evaluate the expected impact to our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. we plan to adopt the new standard effective january 1, 2019. note 2 2013 earnings per share theweighted average number of shares outstanding used to compute earnings per common sharewere as follows (in millions):.

(1) does not include stores that opened as relocations of previously existing stores within the same general market area or substantial renovations of stores. store technology. our store-based information systems are comprised of a proprietary and integrated point of sale, electronic parts catalog, or epc, and store-level inventory management system (collectively "store system"). information maintained by our store system is used to formulate pricing, marketing and merchandising strategies and to replenish inventory accurately and rapidly. our fully integrated system enables our store team members to assist our customers in their parts selection and ordering based on the year, make, model and engine type of their vehicles. our store system provides real-time inventory tracking at the store level allowing store team members to check the quantity of on-hand inventory for any sku, adjust stock levels for select items for store specific events, automatically process returns and defective merchandise, designate skus for cycle counts and track merchandise transfers. if a hard-to-find part or accessory is not available at one of our stores, the store system can determine whether the part is carried and in-stock through our hub or pdq ae networks or can be ordered directly from one of our vendors. available parts and accessories are then ordered electronically from another store, hub, pdq ae or directly from the vendor with immediate confirmation of price, availability and estimated delivery time. our centrally-based epc data management system enables us to reduce the time needed to (i) exchange data with our vendors and (ii) catalog and deliver updated, accurate parts information. we also support our store operations with additional proprietary systems and customer driven labor scheduling capabilities. all of these systems are tightly integrated and provide real-time, comprehensive information to store personnel, resulting in improved customer service levels, team member productivity and in-stock availability. we plan to start rolling out a new and enhanced epc in fiscal 2013 which is expected to simplify and improve the customer experience. among the improvements is a more efficient way to systematically identify add-on sales to ensure our customers have what they need to complete their automotive repair project. store support center merchandising. purchasing for virtually all of the merchandise for our stores is handled by our merchandise teams located in three primary locations: 2022 store support center in roanoke, virginia; 2022 regional office in minneapolis, minnesota; and 2022 global sourcing office in taipei, taiwan. our roanoke team is primarily responsible for the parts categories and our minnesota team is primarily responsible for accessories, oil and chemicals. our global sourcing team works closely with both teams. in fiscal 2012, we purchased merchandise from approximately 450 vendors, with no single vendor accounting for more than 9% (9%) of purchases. our purchasing strategy involves negotiating agreements with most of our vendors to purchase merchandise over a specified period of time along with other terms, including pricing, payment terms and volume. the merchandising team has developed strong vendor relationships in the industry and, in a collaborative effort with our vendor partners, utilizes a category management process where we manage the mix of our product offerings to meet customer demand. we believe this process, which develops a customer-focused business plan for each merchandise category, and our global sourcing operation are critical to improving comparable store sales, gross margin and inventory productivity..

impairment net unrealized losses on securities available for sale were as follows as of december 31:.
(in millions) | 2009 | 2008
fair value | $72699 | $54163
amortized cost | 74843 | 60786
net unrealized loss pre-tax | $-2144 (2144) | $-6623 (6623)
net unrealized loss after-tax | $-1316 (1316) | $-4057 (4057)
the above net unrealized loss amounts at december 31, 2009 and december 31, 2008 excluded the remaining net unrealized loss of $1.01 billion, or $635 million after-tax, and $2.27 billion, or $1.39 billion after- tax, respectively, related to reclassifications of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. these after-tax amounts are recorded in other comprehensive income. the decline in the remaining after-tax unrealized loss amounts related to transferred securities resulted from amortization and from the recognition of losses from other-than-temporary impairment on certain of the securities. we conduct periodic reviews of individual securities to assess whether other-than-temporary impairment exists. to the extent that other-than-temporary impairment is identified, the impairment is broken into a credit component and a non-credit component. the credit component is recognized in our consolidated statement of income, and the non-credit component is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that management does not intend to sell the security (see note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under item 8). the assessment of other-than-temporary impairment involves an evaluation of economic and security- specific factors, which are more fully described in note 3. such factors are based upon estimates, derived by management, which contemplate current market conditions and security-specific performance. to the extent that market conditions are worse than management 2019s expectations, other-than-temporary impairment could increase, in particular the credit component that would be recognized in our consolidated statement of income. national housing prices, according to the case-shiller national hpi, have declined to date approximately 30% (30%) peak-to-current. management currently estimates that national housing prices will continue to decline and bottom out during the second half of 2010, consistent with a peak-to-trough housing price decline of approximately 37% (37%). as an indication of the sensitivity of our portfolio with respect to our more significant assumptions underlying our assessment of impairment, if we were to increase our default estimates to 110% (110%) of management 2019s current expectations with a corresponding slowing of prepayment speeds to 90% (90%) of management 2019s current expectations, credit-related other-than-temporary impairment could increase by approximately $120 million to $125 million, which impairment would be recorded in our consolidated statement of income. excluding the securities for which other-than-temporary impairment was recorded, management considers the aggregate decline in fair value of the remaining securities and the resulting net unrealized losses to be temporary and not the result of any material changes in the credit characteristics of the securities. additional information about our assessment of impairment is provided in note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under item 8..

sfas no. 109, 201caccounting for income taxes, 201d requires that companies record a valuation allowance when it is 201cmore likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 201d at december 31, 2005, the company has provided a valuation allowance of approximately $422.4 million, including approximately $249.5 million attributable to spectrasite, primarily related to net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards. approximately $237.8 million of the spectrasite valuation allowance was assumed as of the acquisition date. the balance of the valuation allowance primarily relates to net state deferred tax assets. the company has not provided a valuation allowance for the remaining deferred tax assets, primarily its federal net operating loss carryforwards, as management believes the company will have sufficient time to realize these federal net operating loss carryforwards during the twenty-year tax carryforward period. the company intends to recover a portion of its deferred tax asset through its federal income tax refund claims related to the carry back of certain federal net operating losses. in june 2003 and october 2003, the company filed federal income tax refund claims with the irs relating to the carry back of $380.0 million of net operating losses generated prior to 2003, of which the company initially anticipated receiving approximately $90.0 million. based on preliminary discussions with tax authorities, the company has revised its estimate of the net realizable value of the federal income tax refund claims and anticipates receiving a refund of approximately $65.0 million as a result of these claims by the end of 2006. there can be no assurances, however, with respect to the specific amount and timing of any refund. the recoverability of the company 2019s remaining net deferred tax asset has been assessed utilizing stable state (no growth) projections based on its current operations. the projections show a significant decrease in depreciation and interest expense in the later years of the carryforward period as a result of a significant portion of its assets being fully depreciated during the first fifteen years of the carryforward period and debt repayments reducing interest expense. accordingly, the recoverability of the net deferred tax asset is not dependent on material improvements to operations, material asset sales or other non-routine transactions. based on its current outlook of future taxable income during the carryforward period, management believes that the net deferred tax asset will be realized. the realization of the company 2019s deferred tax assets as of december 31, 2005 will be dependent upon its ability to generate approximately $1.3 billion in taxable income from january 1, 2006 to december 31, 2025. if the company is unable to generate sufficient taxable income in the future, or carry back losses, as described above, it will be required to reduce its net deferred tax asset through a charge to income tax expense, which would result in a corresponding decrease in stockholders 2019 equity. from time to time the company is subject to examination by various tax authorities in jurisdictions in which the company has significant business operations. the company regularly assesses the likelihood of additional assessments in each of the tax jurisdictions resulting from these examinations. during the year ended.

at december 31, 2015 and 2014, we had a modest working capital surplus. this reflects a strong cash position that provides enhanced liquidity in an uncertain economic environment. in addition, we believe we have adequate access to capital markets to meet any foreseeable cash requirements, and we have sufficient financial capacity to satisfy our current liabilities. cash flows.
millions | 2015 | 2014 | 2013
cash provided by operating activities | $7344 | $7385 | $6823
cash used in investing activities | -4476 (4476) | -4249 (4249) | -3405 (3405)

net change in cash and cash equivalents | $-195 (195) | $154 | $369
operating activities cash provided by operating activities decreased in 2015 compared to 2014 due to lower net income and changes in working capital, partially offset by the timing of tax payments. federal tax law provided for 100% (100%) bonus depreciation for qualified investments made during 2011 and 50% (50%) bonus depreciation for qualified investments made during 2012-2013. as a result, the company deferred a substantial portion of its 2011-2013 income tax expense, contributing to the positive operating cash flow in those years. congress extended 50% (50%) bonus depreciation for 2014, but this extension occurred in december, and the related benefit was realized in 2015, rather than 2014. similarly, in december of 2015, congress extended bonus depreciation through 2019, which delayed the benefit of 2015 bonus depreciation into 2016. bonus depreciation will be at a rate of 50% (50%) for 2015, 2016 and 2017, 40% (40%) for 2018 and 30% (30%) for 2019. higher net income in 2014 increased cash provided by operating activities compared to 2013, despite higher income tax payments. 2014 income tax payments were higher than 2013 primarily due to higher income, but also because we paid taxes previously deferred by bonus depreciation. investing activities higher capital investments in locomotives and freight cars, including $327 million in early lease buyouts, which we exercised due to favorable economic terms and market conditions, drove the increase in cash used in investing activities in 2015 compared to 2014. higher capital investments, including the early buyout of the long-term operating lease of our headquarters building for approximately $261 million, drove the increase in cash used in investing activities in 2014 compared to 2013. significant investments also were made for new locomotives, freight cars and containers, and capacity and commercial facility projects. capital investments in 2014 also included $99 million for the early buyout of locomotives and freight cars under long-term operating leases, which we exercised due to favorable economic terms and market conditions..
what was the cash provided by operating activities for 2015? 7344.0

the company and certain of its subsidiaries are currently under examination by the relevant taxing authorities for various tax years. the company regularly assesses the potential outcome of these examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded. while it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe we have appropriately accrued for our uncertain tax benefits. however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements and future events that would impact our previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits and the range of anticipated increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits are subject to significant uncertainty. it is possible that the ultimate outcome of current or future examinations may exceed our provision for current unrecognized tax benefits in amounts that could be material, but cannot be estimated as of december 31, 2016. our effective tax rate and net income in any given future period could therefore be materially impacted. 22. discontinued operations brazil distribution 2014 due to a portfolio evaluation in the first half of 2016, management has decided to pursue a strategic shift of its distribution companies in brazil, aes sul and eletropaulo. the disposal of sul was completed in october 2016. in december 2016, eletropaulo underwent a corporate restructuring which is expected to, among other things, provide more liquidity of its shares. aes is continuing to pursue strategic options for eletropaulo in order to complete its strategic shift to reduce aes 2019 exposure to the brazilian distribution business, including preparation for listing its shares into the novo mercado, which is a listing segment of the brazilian stock exchange with the highest standards of corporate governance. the company executed an agreement for the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary aes sul in june 2016. we have reported the results of operations and financial position of aes sul as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. upon meeting the held-for-sale criteria, the company recognized an after tax loss of $382 million comprised of a pretax impairment charge of $783 million, offset by a tax benefit of $266 million related to the impairment of the sul long lived assets and a tax benefit of $135 million for deferred taxes related to the investment in aes sul. prior to the impairment charge in the second quarter, the carrying value of the aes sul asset group of $1.6 billion was greater than its approximate fair value less costs to sell. however, the impairment charge was limited to the carrying value of the long lived assets of the aes sul disposal group. on october 31, 2016, the company completed the sale of aes sul and received final proceeds less costs to sell of $484 million, excluding contingent consideration. upon disposal of aes sul, we incurred an additional after- tax loss on sale of $737 million. the cumulative impact to earnings of the impairment and loss on sale was $1.1 billion. this includes the reclassification of approximately $1 billion of cumulative translation losses, resulting in a net reduction to the company 2019s stockholders 2019 equity of $92 million. sul 2019s pretax loss attributable to aes for the years ended december 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.4 billion and $32 million, respectively. sul 2019s pretax gain attributable to aes for the year ended december 31, 2014 was $133 million. prior to its classification as discontinued operations, sul was reported in the brazil sbu reportable segment. as discussed in note 1 2014general and summary of significant accounting policies, effective july 1, 2014, the company prospectively adopted asu no. 2014-08. discontinued operations prior to adoption of asu no. 2014-08 include the results of cameroon, saurashtra and various u.s. wind projects which were each sold in the first half of cameroon 2014 in september 2013, the company executed agreements for the sale of its 56% (56%) equity interests in businesses in cameroon: sonel, an integrated utility, kribi, a gas and light fuel oil plant, and dibamba, a heavy.

rental expense for operating leases was approximately $66.9 million, $57.2 million and $49.0 million during the years ended december 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. in connection with the acquisitions of several businesses, we entered into agreements with several sellers of those businesses, some of whom became stockholders as a result of those acquisitions, for the lease of certain properties used in our operations. typical lease terms under these agreements include an initial term of five years, with three to five five-year renewal options and purchase options at various times throughout the lease periods. we also maintain the right of first refusal concerning the sale of the leased property. lease payments to an employee who became an officer of the company after the acquisition of his business were approximately $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.9 million during each of the years ended december 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. we guarantee the residual values of the majority of our truck and equipment operating leases. the residual values decline over the lease terms to a defined percentage of original cost. in the event the lessor does not realize the residual value when a piece of equipment is sold, we would be responsible for a portion of the shortfall. similarly, if the lessor realizes more than the residual value when a piece of equipment is sold, we would be paid the amount realized over the residual value. had we terminated all of our operating leases subject to these guarantees at december 31, 2010, the guaranteed residual value would have totaled approximately $31.4 million. we have not recorded a liability for the guaranteed residual value of equipment under operating leases as the recovery on disposition of the equipment under the leases is expected to approximate the guaranteed residual value. litigation and related contingencies in december 2005 and may 2008, ford global technologies, llc filed complaints with the international trade commission against us and others alleging that certain aftermarket parts imported into the u.s. infringed on ford design patents. the parties settled these matters in april 2009 pursuant to a settlement arrangement that expires in september 2011. pursuant to the settlement, we (and our designees) became the sole distributor in the u.s. of aftermarket automotive parts that correspond to ford collision parts that are covered by a u.s. design patent. we have paid ford an upfront fee for these rights and will pay a royalty for each such part we sell. the amortization of the upfront fee and the royalty expenses are reflected in cost of goods sold on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. we also have certain other contingencies resulting from litigation, claims and other commitments and are subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. we currently expect that the resolution of such contingencies will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows..

stock-based awards under the plan stock options 2013 marathon grants stock options under the 2007 plan and previously granted options under the 2003 plan. marathon 2019s stock options represent the right to purchase shares of common stock at the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. through 2004, certain stock options were granted under the 2003 plan with a tandem stock appreciation right, which allows the recipient to instead elect to receive cash and/or common stock equal to the excess of the fair market value of shares of common stock, as determined in accordance with the 2003 plan, over the option price of the shares. in general, stock options granted under the 2007 plan and the 2003 plan vest ratably over a three-year period and have a maximum term of ten years from the date they are granted. stock appreciation rights 2013 prior to 2005, marathon granted sars under the 2003 plan. no stock appreciation rights have been granted under the 2007 plan. similar to stock options, stock appreciation rights represent the right to receive a payment equal to the excess of the fair market value of shares of common stock on the date the right is exercised over the grant price. under the 2003 plan, certain sars were granted as stock-settled sars and others were granted in tandem with stock options. in general, sars granted under the 2003 plan vest ratably over a three-year period and have a maximum term of ten years from the date they are granted. stock-based performance awards 2013 prior to 2005, marathon granted stock-based performance awards under the 2003 plan. no stock-based performance awards have been granted under the 2007 plan. beginning in 2005, marathon discontinued granting stock-based performance awards and instead now grants cash-settled performance units to officers. all stock-based performance awards granted under the 2003 plan have either vested or been forfeited. as a result, there are no outstanding stock-based performance awards. restricted stock 2013 marathon grants restricted stock and restricted stock units under the 2007 plan and previously granted such awards under the 2003 plan. in 2005, the compensation committee began granting time-based restricted stock to certain u.s.-based officers of marathon and its consolidated subsidiaries as part of their annual long-term incentive package. the restricted stock awards to officers vest three years from the date of grant, contingent on the recipient 2019s continued employment. marathon also grants restricted stock to certain non-officer employees and restricted stock units to certain international employees (201crestricted stock awards 201d), based on their performance within certain guidelines and for retention purposes. the restricted stock awards to non-officers generally vest in one-third increments over a three-year period, contingent on the recipient 2019s continued employment. prior to vesting, all restricted stock recipients have the right to vote such stock and receive dividends thereon. the non-vested shares are not transferable and are held by marathon 2019s transfer agent. common stock units 2013 marathon maintains an equity compensation program for its non-employee directors under the 2007 plan and previously maintained such a program under the 2003 plan. all non-employee directors other than the chairman receive annual grants of common stock units, and they are required to hold those units until they leave the board of directors. when dividends are paid on marathon common stock, directors receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional common stock units. stock-based compensation expense 2013 total employee stock-based compensation expense was $80 million, $83 million and $111 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005. the total related income tax benefits were $29 million, $31 million and $39 million. in 2007 and 2006, cash received upon exercise of stock option awards was $27 million and $50 million. tax benefits realized for deductions during 2007 and 2006 that were in excess of the stock-based compensation expense recorded for options exercised and other stock-based awards vested during the period totaled $30 million and $36 million. cash settlements of stock option awards totaled $1 million and $3 million in 2007 and 2006. stock option awards granted 2013 during 2007, 2006 and 2005, marathon granted stock option awards to both officer and non-officer employees. the weighted average grant date fair value of these awards was based on the following black-scholes assumptions:.

republic services, inc. notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued) 16. financial instruments fuel hedges we have entered into multiple swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate some of our exposure related to changes in diesel fuel prices. these swaps qualified for, and were designated as, effective hedges of changes in the prices of forecasted diesel fuel purchases (fuel hedges). the following table summarizes our outstanding fuel hedges as of december 31, 2016: year gallons hedged weighted average contract price per gallon.
year | gallons hedged | weighted average contractprice per gallon
2017 | 12000000 | $2.92
2018 | 3000000 | 2.61
if the national u.s. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel as published by the department of energy exceeds the contract price per gallon, we receive the difference between the average price and the contract price (multiplied by the notional gallons) from the counterparty. if the average price is less than the contract price per gallon, we pay the difference to the counterparty. the fair values of our fuel hedges are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). the aggregate fair values of our outstanding fuel hedges as of december 31, 2016 and 2015 were current liabilities of $2.7 million and $37.8 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. the ineffective portions of the changes in fair values resulted in a gain of $0.8 million for the year ended december 31, 2016, and a loss of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended december 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and have been recorded in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income. total gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for fuel hedges (the effective portion) was $20.7 million, $(2.0) million and $(24.2) million, for the years ended december 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. we classify cash inflows and outflows from our fuel hedges within operating activities in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows. recycling commodity hedges revenue from the sale of recycled commodities is primarily from sales of old corrugated containers and old newsprint. from time to time we use derivative instruments such as swaps and costless collars designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in prices of these commodities. during 2016, we entered into multiple agreements related to the forecasted occ sales. the agreements qualified for, and were designated as, effective hedges of changes in the prices of certain forecasted recycling commodity sales (commodity hedges). we entered into costless collar agreements on forecasted sales of occ. the agreements involve combining a purchased put option giving us the right to sell occ at an established floor strike price with a written call option obligating us to deliver occ at an established cap strike price. the puts and calls have the same settlement dates, are net settled in cash on such dates and have the same terms to expiration. the contemporaneous combination of options resulted in no net premium for us and represents costless collars. under these agreements, we will make or receive no payments as long as the settlement price is between the floor price and cap price; however, if the settlement price is above the cap, we will pay the counterparty an amount equal to the excess of the settlement price over the cap times the monthly volumes hedged. if the settlement price is below the floor, the counterparty will pay us the deficit of the settlement price below the floor times the monthly volumes hedged. the objective of these agreements is to reduce variability of cash flows for forecasted sales of occ between two designated strike prices..
how much did the gallons hedged in 2018 represent in relation to the ones hedged in 2017?

during 2009 we continued to see a soft market, which began in 2007, in our retail brokerage product line. in 2007, we experienced a soft market in many business lines and in many geographic areas. in a 2018 2018soft market, 2019 2019 premium rates flatten or decrease, along with commission revenues, due to increased competition for market share among insurance carriers or increased underwriting capacity. changes in premiums have a direct and potentially material impact on the insurance brokerage industry, as commission revenues are generally based on a percentage of the premiums paid by insureds. prices fell throughout 2007, with the greatest declines seen in large and middle-market accounts. prices continued to decline during 2008, although the rate of decline slowed toward the end of the year. in our reinsurance brokerage product line, pricing overall during 2009 was also down, although during a portion of the year it was flat to up slightly. additionally, beginning in late 2008 and continuing throughout 2009, we faced difficult conditions as a result of unprecedented disruptions in the global economy, the repricing of credit risk and the deterioration of the financial markets. continued volatility and further deterioration in the credit markets have reduced our customers 2019 demand for our retail brokerage and reinsurance brokerage products, which have negatively hurt our operational results. in addition, overall capacity in the industry could decrease if a significant insurer either fails or withdraws from writing insurance coverages that we offer our clients. this failure could reduce our revenues and profitability, since we would no longer have access to certain lines and types of insurance. risk and insurance brokerage services generated approximately 83% (83%) of our consolidated total revenues in 2009. revenues are generated primarily through fees paid by clients, commissions and fees paid by insurance and reinsurance companies, and investment income on funds held on behalf of clients. our revenues vary from quarter to quarter throughout the year as a result of the timing of our clients 2019 policy renewals, the net effect of new and lost business, the timing of services provided to our clients, and the income we earn on investments, which is heavily influenced by short-term interest rates. we operate in a highly competitive industry and compete with many retail insurance brokerage and agency firms, as well as with individual brokers, agents, and direct writers of insurance coverage. specifically, we address the highly specialized product development and risk management needs of commercial enterprises, professional groups, insurance companies, governments, healthcare providers, and non-profit groups, among others; provide affinity products for professional liability, life, disability income, and personal lines for individuals, associations, and businesses; provide reinsurance services to insurance and reinsurance companies and other risk assumption entities by acting as brokers or intermediaries on all classes of reinsurance; provide investment banking products and services, including mergers and acquisitions and other financial advisory services, capital raising, contingent capital financing, insurance-linked securitizations and derivative applications; provide managing underwriting to independent agents and brokers as well as corporate clients; provide actuarial, loss prevention, and administrative services to businesses and consumers; and manage captive insurance companies. in november 2008 we expanded our product offerings through the merger with benfield, a leading independent reinsurance intermediary. benfield products have been integrated with our existing reinsurance products in 2009. in february 2009, we completed the sale of the u.s. operations of cananwill, our premium finance business. in june and july of 2009, we entered into agreements with third parties with respect to our.

net revenues include $3.8 billion in 2017 and $739 million in 2016 related to the sale of rrps, mainly driven by japan. these net revenue amounts include excise taxes billed to customers. excluding excise taxes, net revenues for rrps were $3.6 billion in 2017 and $733 million in 2016. in some jurisdictions, including japan, we are not responsible for collecting excise taxes. in 2017, approximately $0.9 billion of our $3.6 billion in rrp net revenues, excluding excise taxes, were from iqos devices and accessories. excise taxes on products increased by $1.1 billion, due to: 2022 higher excise taxes resulting from changes in retail prices and tax rates ($4.6 billion), partially offset by 2022 favorable currency ($1.9 billion) and 2022 lower excise taxes resulting from volume/mix ($1.6 billion). our cost of sales; marketing, administration and research costs; and operating income were as follows: for the years ended december 31, variance.

operating income | 11503 | 10815 | 688 | 6.4% (6.4%)
cost of sales increased by $1.0 billion, due to: 2022 higher cost of sales resulting from volume/mix ($1.1 billion), partly offset by 2022 lower manufacturing costs ($36 million) and 2022 favorable currency ($30 million). marketing, administration and research costs increased by $320 million, due to: 2022 higher expenses ($570 million, largely reflecting increased investment behind reduced-risk products, predominately in the european union and asia), partly offset by 2022 favorable currency ($250 million). operating income increased by $688 million, due primarily to: 2022 price increases ($1.4 billion), partly offset by 2022 higher marketing, administration and research costs ($570 million) and 2022 unfavorable currency ($157 million). interest expense, net, of $914 million increased by $23 million, due primarily to unfavorably currency and higher average debt levels, partly offset by higher interest income. our effective tax rate increased by 12.8 percentage points to 40.7% (40.7%). the 2017 effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by $1.6 billion due to the tax cuts and jobs act. for further details, see item 8, note 11. income taxes to our consolidated financial statements. we are continuing to evaluate the impact that the tax cuts and jobs act will have on our tax liability. based upon our current interpretation of the tax cuts and jobs act, we estimate that our 2018 effective tax rate will be approximately 28% (28%), subject to future regulatory developments and earnings mix by taxing jurisdiction. we are regularly examined by tax authorities around the world, and we are currently under examination in a number of jurisdictions. it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months certain tax examinations will close, which could result in a change in unrecognized tax benefits along with related interest and penalties. an estimate of any possible change cannot be made at this time. net earnings attributable to pmi of $6.0 billion decreased by $932 million (13.4% (13.4%)). this decrease was due primarily to a higher effective tax rate as discussed above, partly offset by higher operating income. diluted and basic eps of $3.88 decreased by 13.4% (13.4%). excluding.

foreign exchange products | $1.8 | $4.7 | $.3 | $1.8 | $4.0 | $.7
interest-rate products | 1.1 | 2.4 |.6 | 1.4 | 3.7 |.1
we back-test the estimated one-day var on a daily basis. this information is reviewed and used to confirm that all relevant trading positions are properly modeled. for the years ended december 31, 2008 and 2007, we did not experience any actual trading losses in excess of our end-of-day var estimate. asset and liability management activities the primary objective of asset and liability management is to provide sustainable and growing net interest revenue, or nir, under varying economic environments, while protecting the economic values of our balance sheet assets and liabilities from the adverse effects of changes in interest rates. most of our nir is earned from the investment of deposits generated by our core investment servicing and investment management businesses. we structure our balance sheet assets to generally conform to the characteristics of our balance sheet liabilities, but we manage our overall interest-rate risk position in the context of current and anticipated market conditions and within internally-approved risk guidelines. our overall interest-rate risk position is maintained within a series of policies approved by the board and guidelines established and monitored by alco. our global treasury group has responsibility for managing state street 2019s day-to-day interest-rate risk. to effectively manage the consolidated balance sheet and related nir, global treasury has the authority to take a limited amount of interest-rate risk based on market conditions and its views about the direction of global interest rates over both short-term and long-term time horizons. global treasury manages our exposure to changes in interest rates on a consolidated basis organized into three regional treasury units, north america, europe and asia/pacific, to reflect the growing, global nature of our exposures and to capture the impact of change in regional market environments on our total risk position. our investment activities and our use of derivative financial instruments are the primary tools used in managing interest-rate risk. we invest in financial instruments with currency, repricing, and maturity characteristics we consider appropriate to manage our overall interest-rate risk position. in addition to on-balance sheet assets, we use certain derivatives, primarily interest-rate swaps, to alter the interest-rate characteristics of specific balance sheet assets or liabilities. the use of derivatives is subject to alco-approved guidelines. additional information about our use of derivatives is in note 17 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in this form 10-k under item 8. as a result of growth in our non-u.s. operations, non-u.s. dollar denominated customer liabilities are a significant portion of our consolidated balance sheet. this growth results in exposure to changes in the shape and level of non-u.s. dollar yield curves, which we include in our consolidated interest-rate risk management process. because no one individual measure can accurately assess all of our exposures to changes in interest rates, we use several quantitative measures in our assessment of current and potential future exposures to changes in interest rates and their impact on net interest revenue and balance sheet values. net interest revenue simulation is the primary tool used in our evaluation of the potential range of possible net interest revenue results that could occur under a variety of interest-rate environments. we also use market valuation and duration analysis to assess changes in the economic value of balance sheet assets and liabilities caused by assumed changes in interest rates. finally, gap analysis 2014the difference between the amount of balance sheet assets and liabilities re-pricing within a specified time period 2014is used as a measurement of our interest-rate risk position..

the following table shows the impact of catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums and the impact of prior period development on our consolidated loss and loss expense ratio for the periods indicated..

loss and loss expense ratio as reported | 59.2% (59.2%) | 58.8% (58.8%) | 60.6% (60.6%)
catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums | (3.2)% (%) | (1.2)% (%) | (4.7)% (%)

loss and loss expense ratio adjusted | 60.3% (60.3%) | 61.7% (61.7%) | 62.7% (62.7%)
we recorded net pre-tax catastrophe losses of $366 million in 2010 compared with net pre-tax catastrophe losses of $137 million and $567 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. the catastrophe losses for 2010 were primarily related to weather- related events in the u.s., earthquakes in chile, mexico, and new zealand, and storms in australia and europe. the catastrophe losses for 2009 were primarily related to an earthquake in asia, floods in europe, several weather-related events in the u.s., and a european windstorm. for 2008, the catastrophe losses were primarily related to hurricanes gustav and ike. prior period development arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss reserves first reported in previous calendar years and excludes the effect of losses from the development of earned premium from pre- vious accident years. we experienced $503 million of net favorable prior period development in our p&c segments in 2010. this compares with net favorable prior period development in our p&c segments of $576 million and $814 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively. refer to 201cprior period development 201d for more information. the adjusted loss and loss expense ratio declined in 2010, compared with 2009, primarily due to the impact of the crop settlements, non-recurring premium adjustment and the reduction in assumed loss portfolio business, which is written at higher loss ratios than other types of business. our policy acquisition costs include commissions, premium taxes, underwriting, and other costs that vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of premium. administrative expenses include all other operating costs. our policy acquis- ition cost ratio increased in 2010, compared with 2009. the increase was primarily related to the impact of crop settlements, which generated higher profit-share commissions and a lower adjustment to net premiums earned, as well as the impact of reinstatement premiums expensed in connection with catastrophe activity and changes in business mix. our administrative expense ratio increased in 2010, primarily due to the impact of the crop settlements, reinstatement premiums expensed, and increased costs in our international operations. although the crop settlements generate minimal administrative expenses, they resulted in lower adjustment to net premiums earned in 2010, compared with 2009. administrative expenses in 2010, were partially offset by higher net results generated by our third party claims administration business, esis, the results of which are included within our administrative expenses. esis generated $85 million in net results in 2010, compared with $26 million in 2009. the increase is primarily from non-recurring sources. our policy acquisition cost ratio was stable in 2009, compared with 2008, as increases in our combined insurance operations were offset by more favorable final crop year settlement of profit share commissions. administrative expenses increased in 2009, primarily due to the inclusion of administrative expenses related to combined insurance for the full year and costs associated with new product expansion in our domestic retail operation and in our personal lines business. our effective income tax rate, which we calculate as income tax expense divided by income before income tax, is depend- ent upon the mix of earnings from different jurisdictions with various tax rates. a change in the geographic mix of earnings would change the effective income tax rate. our effective income tax rate was 15 percent in 2010, compared with 17 percent and 24 percent in 2009 and 2008, respectively. the decrease in our effective income tax rate in 2010, was primarily due to a change in the mix of earnings to lower tax-paying jurisdictions, a decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits which was the result of a settlement with the u.s. internal revenue service appeals division regarding federal tax returns for the years 2002-2004, and the recognition of a non-taxable gain related to the acquisition of rain and hail. the 2009 year included a reduction of a deferred tax valuation allowance related to investments. for 2008, our effective income tax rate was adversely impacted by a change in mix of earnings due to the impact of catastrophe losses in lower tax-paying jurisdictions. prior period development the favorable prior period development, inclusive of the life segment, of $512 million during 2010 was the net result of sev- eral underlying favorable and adverse movements. with respect to ace 2019s crop business, ace regularly receives reports from its managing general agent (mga) relating to the previous crop year (s) in subsequent calendar quarters and this typically results.
what was the net favorable prior period development in 2010? 503.0
and what was it in 2008? 814.0
what was, then, the change over the years? -311.0
what was the net favorable prior period development in 2008? 814.0
and how much does that change represent in relation to this 2008 amount, in percentage?

table of contents adobe inc. notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) certain states and foreign jurisdictions to fully utilize available tax credits and other attributes. the deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance to the extent it is more likely than not that they are not expected to be realized. we provide u.s. income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the subsidiaries 2019 earnings are considered permanently reinvested outside the united states or are exempted from taxation as a result of the new territorial tax system. to the extent that the foreign earnings previously treated as permanently reinvested are repatriated, the related u.s. tax liability may be reduced by any foreign income taxes paid on these earnings. as of november 30, 2018, the cumulative amount of earnings upon which u.s. income taxes have not been provided is approximately $275 million. the unrecognized deferred tax liability for these earnings is approximately $57.8 million. as of november 30, 2018, we have net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $881.1 million for federal and $349.7 million for state. we also have federal, state and foreign tax credit carryforwards of approximately $8.8 million, $189.9 million and $14.9 million, respectively. the net operating loss carryforward assets and tax credits will expire in various years from fiscal 2019 through 2036. the state tax credit carryforwards and a portion of the federal net operating loss carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely. the net operating loss carryforward assets and certain credits are reduced by the valuation allowance and are subject to an annual limitation under internal revenue code section 382, the carrying amount of which are expected to be fully realized. as of november 30, 2018, a valuation allowance of $174.5 million has been established for certain deferred tax assets related to certain state and foreign assets. for fiscal 2018, the total change in the valuation allowance was $80.9 million. accounting for uncertainty in income taxes during fiscal 2018 and 2017, our aggregate changes in our total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits are summarized as follows (in thousands):.
- | 2018 | 2017
beginning balance | $172945 | $178413
gross increases in unrecognized tax benefits 2013 prior year tax positions | 16191 | 3680
gross decreases in unrecognized tax benefits 2013 prior year tax positions | -4000 (4000) | -30166 (30166)
gross increases in unrecognized tax benefits 2013 current year tax positions | 60721 | 24927
settlements with taxing authorities | 2014 | -3876 (3876)
lapse of statute of limitations | -45922 (45922) | -8819 (8819)
foreign exchange gains and losses | -3783 (3783) | 8786
ending balance | $196152 | $172945
the combined amount of accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on our tax returns were approximately $24.6 million and $23.6 million for fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. these amounts were included in long-term income taxes payable in their respective years. we file income tax returns in the united states on a federal basis and in many u.s. state and foreign jurisdictions. we are subject to the continual examination of our income tax returns by the irs and other domestic and foreign tax authorities. our major tax jurisdictions are ireland, california and the united states. for ireland, california and the united states, the earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2008, 2014 and 2015, respectively. we regularly assess the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for potential adjustments that may result from these examinations. we believe such estimates to be reasonable; however, there can be no assurance that the final determination of any of these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial position. the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain as are the amounts and timing of tax payments that are part of any audit settlement process. these events could cause large fluctuations in the balance of short-term and long- term assets, liabilities and income taxes payable. we believe that within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that either certain audits will conclude or statutes of limitations on certain income tax examination periods will expire, or both. given the uncertainties described above, we can only determine a range of estimated potential effect in underlying unrecognized tax benefits ranging from $0 to approximately $45 million..

net cash used for financing activities | -3363 (3363) | -1476 (1476) | -3938 (3938)
operating activities net cash provided by operating activities increased by $374 million to $3547 million in 2010 as compared to 2009. the increase primarily was attributable to an improvement in our operating working capital balances of $570 million as discussed below, and $187 million related to lower net income tax payments, as compared to 2009. partially offsetting these improvements was a net reduction in cash from operations of $350 million related to our defined benefit pension plan. this reduction was the result of increased contributions to the pension trust of $758 million as compared to 2009, partially offset by an increase in the cas costs recovered on our contracts. operating working capital accounts consists of receivables, inventories, accounts payable, and customer advances and amounts in excess of costs incurred. the improvement in cash provided by operating working capital was due to a decline in 2010 accounts receivable balances compared to 2009, and an increase in 2010 customer advances and amounts in excess of costs incurred balances compared to 2009. these improvements partially were offset by a decline in accounts payable balances in 2010 compared to 2009. the decline in accounts receivable primarily was due to higher collections on various programs at electronic systems, is&gs, and space systems business areas. the increase in customer advances and amounts in excess of costs incurred primarily was attributable to an increase on government and commercial satellite programs at space systems and air mobility programs at aeronautics, partially offset by a decrease on various programs at electronic systems. the decrease in accounts payable was attributable to the timing of accounts payable activities across all segments. net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $1248 million to $3173 million in 2009 as compared to 2008. the decline primarily was attributable to an increase in our contributions to the defined benefit pension plan of $1373 million as compared to 2008 and an increase in our operating working capital accounts of $147 million. partially offsetting these items was the impact of lower net income tax payments in 2009 as compared to 2008 in the amount of $319 million. the decline in cash provided by operating working capital primarily was due to growth of receivables on various programs in the ms2 and gt&l lines of business at electronic systems and an increase in inventories on combat aircraft programs at aeronautics, which partially were offset by increases in customer advances and amounts in excess of costs incurred on government satellite programs at space systems and the timing of accounts payable activities. investing activities capital expenditures 2013 the majority of our capital expenditures relate to facilities infrastructure and equipment that are incurred to support new and existing programs across all of our business segments. we also incur capital expenditures for it to support programs and general enterprise it infrastructure. capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment amounted to $820 million in 2010, $852 million in 2009, and $926 million in 2008. we expect that our operating cash flows will continue to be sufficient to fund our annual capital expenditures over the next few years. acquisitions, divestitures and other activities 2013 acquisition activities include both the acquisition of businesses and investments in affiliates. amounts paid in 2010 of $148 million primarily related to investments in affiliates. we paid $435 million in 2009 for acquisition activities, compared with $233 million in 2008. in 2010, we received proceeds of $798 million from the sale of eig, net of $17 million in transaction costs (see note 2). there were no material divestiture activities in 2009 and 2008. during 2010, we increased our short-term investments by $171 million compared to an increase of $279 million in 2009. financing activities share activity and dividends 2013 during 2010, 2009, and 2008, we repurchased 33.0 million, 24.9 million, and 29.0 million shares of our common stock for $2483 million, $1851 million, and $2931 million. of the shares we repurchased in 2010, 0.9 million shares for $63 million were repurchased in december but settled and were paid for in january 2011. in october 2010, our board of directors approved a new share repurchase program for the repurchase of our common stock from time-to-time, up to an authorized amount of $3.0 billion (see note 12). under the program, we have discretion to determine the dollar amount of shares to be repurchased and the timing of any repurchases in compliance with applicable law and regulation. we repurchased a total of 11.2 million shares under the program for $776 million, and as of december 31, 2010, there remained $2224 million available for additional share repurchases. in connection with their approval of the new share repurchase program, our board

jpmorgan chase & co./2005 annual report 35 and are retained in corporate. these retained expenses include parent company costs that would not be incurred if the segments were stand-alone businesses; adjustments to align certain corporate staff, technology and operations allocations with market prices; and other one-time items not aligned with the business segments. during 2005, the firm refined cost allocation methodologies related to certain corporate functions, technology and operations expenses in order to improve transparency, consistency and accountability with regard to costs allocated across business segments. prior periods have not been revised to reflect these new cost allocation methodologies. capital allocation each business segment is allocated capital by taking into consideration stand- alone peer comparisons, economic risk measures and regulatory capital requirements. the amount of capital assigned to each business is referred to as equity. at the time of the merger, goodwill, as well as the associated capital, was allocated solely to corporate. effective january 2006, the firm expects to refine its methodology for allocating capital to the business segments to include any goodwill associated with line of business-directed acquisitions since the merger. u.s. gaap requires the allocation of goodwill to the business segments for impairment testing (see critical accounting estimates used by the firm and note 15 on pages 81 2013 83 and 114 2013116, respectively, of this annual report). see the capital management section on page 56 of this annual report for a discussion of the equity framework. credit reimbursement tss reimburses the ib for credit portfolio exposures the ib manages on behalf of clients the segments share. at the time of the merger, the reimbursement methodology was revised to be based upon pre-tax earnings, net of the cost of capital related to those exposures. prior to the merger, the credit reimbursement was based upon pre-tax earnings, plus the allocated capital associated with the shared clients. tax-equivalent adjustments segment and firm results reflect revenues on a tax-equivalent basis for segment reporting purposes. refer to explanation and reconciliation of the firm 2019s non-gaap financial measures on page 31 of this annual report for additional details. description of business segment reporting methodology results of the business segments are intended to reflect each segment as if it were essentially a stand-alone business. the management reporting process that derives these results allocates income and expense using market-based methodologies. effective with the merger on july 1, 2004, several of the allocation methodologies were revised, as noted below. as prior periods have not been revised to reflect these new methodologies, they are not comparable to the presentation of periods beginning with the third quarter of 2004. further, the firm continues to assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting reclassifications used for segment reporting, and further refinements may be implemented in future periods. revenue sharing when business segments join efforts to sell products and services to the firm 2019s clients, the participating business segments agree to share revenues from those transactions. these revenue-sharing agreements were revised on the merger date to provide consistency across the lines of business. funds transfer pricing funds transfer pricing (201cftp 201d) is used to allocate interest income and expense to each business and transfer the primary interest rate risk exposures to corporate. the allocation process is unique to each business and considers the interest rate risk, liquidity risk and regulatory requirements of its stand- alone peers. business segments may retain certain interest rate exposures, subject to management approval, that would be expected in the normal operation of a similar peer business. in the third quarter of 2004, ftp was revised to conform the policies of the combined firms. expense allocation where business segments use services provided by support units within the firm, the costs of those support units are allocated to the business segments. those expenses are allocated based upon their actual cost, or the lower of actual cost or market cost, as well as upon usage of the services provided. effective with the third quarter of 2004, the cost allocation methodologies of the heritage firms were aligned to provide consistency across the business segments. in addition, expenses related to certain corporate functions, technology and operations ceased to be allocated to the business segments.

2007 | 1703
2008 | 1371
2009 | 1035
2010 | 710
total future minimum lease payments | $4819
from time-to-time, the company is involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. while any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, management, in consultation with the company 2019s general counsel, presently believes that the outcome of each such other proceedings or claims which are pending or known to be threatened, or all of them combined, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company 2019s financial position, cash flow and results. on may 15, 2006 richard a. nazarian, as selling stockholder representative, filed a demand for arbitration (subsequently amended) with the boston office of the american arbitration association.

applied 2019s backlog on any particular date is not necessarily indicative of actual sales for any future periods, due to the potential for customer changes in delivery schedules or cancellation of orders. customers may delay delivery of products or cancel orders prior to shipment, subject to possible cancellation penalties. delays in delivery schedules and/or a reduction of backlog during any particular period could have a material adverse effect on applied 2019s business and results of operations. manufacturing, raw materials and supplies applied 2019s manufacturing activities consist primarily of assembly, test and integration of various proprietary and commercial parts, components and subassemblies (collectively, parts) that are used to manufacture systems. applied has implemented a distributed manufacturing model under which manufacturing and supply chain activities are conducted in various countries, including the united states, europe, israel, singapore, taiwan, and other countries in asia, and assembly of some systems is completed at customer sites. applied uses numerous vendors, including contract manufacturers, to supply parts and assembly services for the manufacture and support of its products. although applied makes reasonable efforts to assure that parts are available from multiple qualified suppliers, this is not always possible. accordingly, some key parts may be obtained from only a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. applied seeks to reduce costs and to lower the risks of manufacturing and service interruptions by: (1) selecting and qualifying alternate suppliers for key parts; (2) monitoring the financial condition of key suppliers; (3) maintaining appropriate inventories of key parts; (4) qualifying new parts on a timely basis; and (5) locating certain manufacturing operations in close proximity to suppliers and customers. research, development and engineering applied 2019s long-term growth strategy requires continued development of new products, including products that enable expansion into new markets. the company 2019s significant investment in research, development and engineering (rd&e) has generally enabled it to deliver new products and technologies before the emergence of strong demand, thus allowing customers to incorporate these products into their manufacturing plans at an early stage in the technology selection cycle. applied works closely with its global customers to design systems and processes that meet their planned technical and production requirements. product development and engineering organizations are located primarily in the united states, as well as in europe, israel, taiwan, and china. in addition, applied outsources certain rd&e activities, some of which are performed outside the united states, primarily in india and singapore. process support and customer demonstration laboratories are located in the united states, china, taiwan, europe, and israel. applied 2019s investments in rd&e for product development and engineering programs to create or improve products and technologies over the last three years were as follows: $1.4 billion (16 percent of net sales) in fiscal 2014, $1.3 billion (18 percent of net sales) in fiscal 2013, and $1.2 billion (14 percent of net sales) in fiscal 2012. applied has spent an average of 13 percent of net sales in rd&e over the last five years. in addition to rd&e for specific product technologies, applied maintains ongoing programs for automation control systems, materials research, and environmental control that are applicable to its products..

middleton's reported cigars shipment volume for 2012 decreased 0.7% (0.7%) due primarily to changes in trade inventories, partially offset by volume growth as a result of retail share gains. in the cigarette category, marlboro's 2012 retail share performance continued to benefit from the brand-building initiatives supporting marlboro's new architecture. marlboro's retail share for 2012 increased 0.6 share points versus 2011 to 42.6% (42.6%). in january 2013, pm usa expanded distribution of marlboro southern cut nationally. marlboro southern cut is part of the marlboro gold family. pm usa's 2012 retail share increased 0.8 share points versus 2011, reflecting retail share gains by marlboro and by l&m in discount. these gains were partially offset by share losses on other portfolio brands. in the machine-made large cigars category, black & mild's retail share for 2012 increased 0.5 share points. the brand benefited from new untipped cigarillo varieties that were introduced in 2011, black & mild seasonal offerings and the 2012 third-quarter introduction of black & mild jazz untipped cigarillos into select geographies. in december 2012, middleton announced plans to launch nationally black & mild jazz cigars in both plastic tip and wood tip in the first quarter of 2013. the following discussion compares smokeable products segment results for the year ended december 31, 2011 with the year ended december 31, 2010. net revenues, which include excise taxes billed to customers, decreased $221 million (1.0% (1.0%)) due to lower shipment volume ($1051 million), partially offset by higher net pricing ($830 million), which includes higher promotional investments. operating companies income increased $119 million (2.1% (2.1%)), due primarily to higher net pricing ($831 million), which includes higher promotional investments, marketing, administration, and research savings reflecting cost reduction initiatives ($198 million) and 2010 implementation costs related to the closure of the cabarrus, north carolina manufacturing facility ($75 million), partially offset by lower volume ($527 million), higher asset impairment and exit costs due primarily to the 2011 cost reduction program ($158 million), higher per unit settlement charges ($120 million), higher charges related to tobacco and health judgments ($87 million) and higher fda user fees ($73 million). for 2011, total smokeable products shipment volume decreased 4.0% (4.0%) versus 2010. pm usa's reported domestic cigarettes shipment volume declined 4.0% (4.0%) versus 2010 due primarily to retail share losses and one less shipping day, partially offset by changes in trade inventories. after adjusting for changes in trade inventories and one less shipping day, pm usa's 2011 domestic cigarette shipment volume was estimated to be down approximately 4% (4%) versus 2010. pm usa believes that total cigarette category volume for 2011 decreased approximately 3.5% (3.5%) versus 2010, when adjusted primarily for changes in trade inventories and one less shipping day. pm usa's total premium brands (marlboro and other premium brands) shipment volume decreased 4.3% (4.3%). marlboro's shipment volume decreased 3.8% (3.8%) versus 2010. in the discount brands, pm usa's shipment volume decreased 0.9% (0.9%). pm usa's shipments of premium cigarettes accounted for 93.7% (93.7%) of its reported domestic cigarettes shipment volume for 2011, down from 93.9% (93.9%) in 2010. middleton's 2011 reported cigars shipment volume was unchanged versus 2010. for 2011, pm usa's retail share of the cigarette category declined 0.8 share points to 49.0% (49.0%) due primarily to retail share losses on marlboro. marlboro's 2011 retail share decreased 0.6 share points. in 2010, marlboro delivered record full-year retail share results that were achieved at lower margin levels. middleton retained a leading share of the tipped cigarillo segment of the machine-made large cigars category, with a retail share of approximately 84% (84%) in 2011. for 2011, middleton's retail share of the cigar category increased 0.3 share points to 29.7% (29.7%) versus 2010. black & mild's 2011 retail share increased 0.5 share points, as the brand benefited from new product introductions. during the fourth quarter of 2011, middleton broadened its untipped cigarillo portfolio with new aroma wrap 2122 foil pouch packaging that accompanied the national introduction of black & mild wine. this new fourth- quarter packaging roll-out also included black & mild sweets and classic varieties. during the second quarter of 2011, middleton entered into a contract manufacturing arrangement to source the production of a portion of its cigars overseas. middleton entered into this arrangement to access additional production capacity in an uncertain competitive environment and an excise tax environment that potentially benefits imported large cigars over those manufactured domestically. smokeless products segment the smokeless products segment's operating companies income grew during 2012 driven by higher pricing, copenhagen and skoal's combined volume and retail share performance and effective cost management. the following table summarizes smokeless products segment shipment volume performance: shipment volume for the years ended december 31.

jpmorgan chase & co./2008 annual report 83 credit risk capital credit risk capital is estimated separately for the wholesale business- es (ib, cb, tss and am) and consumer businesses (rfs and cs). credit risk capital for the overall wholesale credit portfolio is defined in terms of unexpected credit losses, both from defaults and declines in the portfolio value due to credit deterioration, measured over a one-year period at a confidence level consistent with an 201caa 201d credit rating standard. unexpected losses are losses in excess of those for which provisions for credit losses are maintained. the capital methodology is based upon several principal drivers of credit risk: exposure at default (or loan-equivalent amount), default likelihood, credit spreads, loss severity and portfolio correlation. credit risk capital for the consumer portfolio is based upon product and other relevant risk segmentation. actual segment level default and severity experience are used to estimate unexpected losses for a one-year horizon at a confidence level consistent with an 201caa 201d credit rating standard. statistical results for certain segments or portfolios are adjusted to ensure that capital is consistent with external bench- marks, such as subordination levels on market transactions or capital held at representative monoline competitors, where appropriate. market risk capital the firm calculates market risk capital guided by the principle that capital should reflect the risk of loss in the value of portfolios and financial instruments caused by adverse movements in market vari- ables, such as interest and foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, securities prices and commodities prices. daily value-at-risk (201cvar 201d), biweekly stress-test results and other factors are used to determine appropriate capital levels. the firm allocates market risk capital to each business segment according to a formula that weights that seg- ment 2019s var and stress-test exposures. see market risk management on pages 111 2013116 of this annual report for more information about these market risk measures. operational risk capital capital is allocated to the lines of business for operational risk using a risk-based capital allocation methodology which estimates opera- tional risk on a bottom-up basis. the operational risk capital model is based upon actual losses and potential scenario-based stress losses, with adjustments to the capital calculation to reflect changes in the quality of the control environment or the use of risk-transfer prod- ucts. the firm believes its model is consistent with the new basel ii framework. private equity risk capital capital is allocated to privately and publicly held securities, third-party fund investments and commitments in the private equity portfolio to cover the potential loss associated with a decline in equity markets and related asset devaluations. in addition to negative market fluctua- tions, potential losses in private equity investment portfolios can be magnified by liquidity risk. the capital allocation for the private equity portfolio is based upon measurement of the loss experience suffered by the firm and other market participants over a prolonged period of adverse equity market conditions. regulatory capital the board of governors of the federal reserve system (the 201cfederal reserve 201d) establishes capital requirements, including well-capitalized standards for the consolidated financial holding company. the office of the comptroller of the currency (201cocc 201d) establishes similar capital requirements and standards for the firm 2019s national banks, including jpmorgan chase bank, n.a., and chase bank usa, n.a. the federal reserve granted the firm, for a period of 18 months fol- lowing the bear stearns merger, relief up to a certain specified amount and subject to certain conditions from the federal reserve 2019s risk-based capital and leverage requirements with respect to bear stearns 2019 risk-weighted assets and other exposures acquired. the amount of such relief is subject to reduction by one-sixth each quarter subsequent to the merger and expires on october 1, 2009. the occ granted jpmorgan chase bank, n.a. similar relief from its risk-based capital and leverage requirements. jpmorgan chase maintained a well-capitalized position, based upon tier 1 and total capital ratios at december 31, 2008 and 2007, as indicated in the tables below. for more information, see note 30 on pages 212 2013213 of this annual report. risk-based capital components and assets.

(a) the fasb has been deliberating certain amendments to both sfas 140 and fin 46r that may impact the accounting for transactions that involve qspes and vies. based on the provisions of the current proposal and the firm 2019s interpretation of the propos- al, the firm estimates that the impact of consolidation could be up to $70 billion of credit card receivables, $40 billion of assets related to firm-sponsored multi-seller conduits, and $50 billion of other loans (including residential mortgages); the decrease in the tier 1 capital ratio could be approximately 80 basis points. the ulti- mate impact could differ significantly due to the fasb 2019s continuing deliberations on the final requirements of the rule and market conditions..
in 2008, what percentage did the tier 2 capital represent in relation to the total one? 0.26319

(insurance services) and their respective subsidiaries. our products are sold primarily under the brands 201ccaterpillar, 201d 201ccat, 201d design versions of 201ccat 201d and 201ccaterpillar, 201d 201cemd, 201d 201cfg wilson, 201d 201cmak, 201d 201cmwm, 201d 201cperkins, 201d 201cprogress rail, 201d 201csem 201d and 201csolar turbines 201d. we conduct operations in our machinery, energy & transportation lines of business under highly competitive conditions, including intense price competition. we place great emphasis on the high quality and performance of our products and our dealers 2019 service support. although no one competitor is believed to produce all of the same types of equipment that we do, there are numerous companies, large and small, which compete with us in the sale of each of our products. our machines are distributed principally through a worldwide organization of dealers (dealer network), 48 located in the united states and 123 located outside the united states, serving 192 countries. reciprocating engines are sold principally through the dealer network and to other manufacturers for use in products. some of the reciprocating engines manufactured by our subsidiary perkins engines company limited, are also sold through its worldwide network of 93 distributors covering 182 countries. the fg wilson branded electric power generation systems primarily manufactured by our subsidiary caterpillar northern ireland limited are sold through its worldwide network of 154 distributors covering 131 countries. some of the large, medium speed reciprocating engines are also sold a0 under the mak brand through a worldwide network of 20 distributors covering 130 countries. our dealers do not deal exclusively with our products; however, in most cases sales and servicing of our products are the dealers 2019 principal business. some products, primarily turbines and locomotives, are sold directly to end customers through sales forces employed by the company. at times, these employees are assisted by independent sales representatives. the financial products line of business also conducts operations under highly competitive conditions. financing for users of caterpillar products is available through a variety of competitive sources, principally commercial banks and finance and leasing companies. we offer various financing plans designed to increase the opportunity for sales of our products and generate financing income for our company. a significant portion of financial products activity is conducted in north america, with additional offices in latin america, asia/pacific, europe, africa and middle east. b. basis of presentation the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of caterpillar a0 inc. and its subsidiaries where we have a controlling financial interest. investments in companies where our ownership exceeds 20 percent and we do not have a controlling interest or where the ownership is less than 20 percent and for which we have a significant influence are accounted for by the equity method. see note 9 for further discussion. we consolidate all variable interest entities (vies) where caterpillar inc. is the primary beneficiary. for vies, we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary as prescribed by the accounting guidance on the consolidation of vies. the primary beneficiary of a vie is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity 2019s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the vie. see note 21 for further discussion on a consolidated vie. we have affiliates, suppliers and dealers that are vies of which we are not the primary beneficiary. although we have provided financial support, we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of each entity. our maximum exposure to loss from vies for which we are not the primary beneficiary was as follows:.
(millions of dollars) | december 31, 2017 | december 31, 2016
receivables - trade and other | $34 | $55
receivables - finance | 42 | 174

investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies | 39 | 31
guarantees | 259 | 210
total | $412 | $716
in addition, cat financial has end-user customers that are vies of which we are not the primary beneficiary. although we have provided financial support to these entities and therefore have a variable interest, we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance. our maximum exposure to loss from our involvement with these vies is limited to the credit risk inherently present in the financial support that we have provided. these risks are evaluated and reflected in our financial statements as part of our overall portfolio of finance receivables and related allowance for credit losses..

54| | duke realty corporation annual report 2009 net income (loss) per common share basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders, less dividends on share-based awards expected to vest, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the sum of basic net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in earnings allocable to units not owned by us (to the extent the units are dilutive), by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, to the extent they are dilutive, limited partnership units outstanding, as well as any potential dilutive securities for the period. during the first quarter of 2009, we adopted a new accounting standard (fasb asc 260-10) on participating securities, which we have applied retrospectively to prior period calculations of basic and diluted earnings per common share. pursuant to this new standard, certain of our share-based awards are considered participating securities because they earn dividend equivalents that are not forfeited even if the underlying award does not vest. the following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share (in thousands):.
- | 2009 | 2008 | 2007
net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders | $-333601 (333601) | $50408 | $211942

the aes corporation notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 (continued) december 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 on december 8, 2017, the board of directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.13 per share payable on february 15, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business on february 1, 2018. stock repurchase program 2014 no shares were repurchased in 2017. the cumulative repurchases from the commencement of the program in july 2010 through december 31, 2017 totaled 154.3 million shares for a total cost of $1.9 billion, at an average price per share of $12.12 (including a nominal amount of commissions). as of december 31, 2017, $246 million remained available for repurchase under the program. the common stock repurchased has been classified as treasury stock and accounted for using the cost method. a total of 155924785 and 156878891 shares were held as treasury stock at december 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. restricted stock units under the company's employee benefit plans are issued from treasury stock. the company has not retired any common stock repurchased since it began the program in july 2010. 15. segments and geographic information the segment reporting structure uses the company's organizational structure as its foundation to reflect how the company manages the businesses internally and is organized by geographic regions which provides a socio- political-economic understanding of our business. during the third quarter of 2017, the europe and asia sbus were merged in order to leverage scale and are now reported as part of the eurasia sbu. the management reporting structure is organized by five sbus led by our president and chief executive officer: us, andes, brazil, mcac and eurasia sbus. the company determined that it has five operating and five reportable segments corresponding to its sbus. all prior period results have been retrospectively revised to reflect the new segment reporting structure. in february 2018, we announced a reorganization as a part of our ongoing strategy to simplify our portfolio, optimize our cost structure, and reduce our carbon intensity. the company is currently evaluating the impact this reorganization will have on our segment reporting structure. corporate and other 2014 corporate overhead costs which are not directly associated with the operations of our five reportable segments are included in "corporate and other." also included are certain intercompany charges such as self-insurance premiums which are fully eliminated in consolidation. the company uses adjusted ptc as its primary segment performance measure. adjusted ptc, a non-gaap measure, is defined by the company as pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to the aes corporation excluding gains or losses of the consolidated entity due to (a) unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions; (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses; (c) gains, losses and associated benefits and costs due to dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, including early plant closures; (d) losses due to impairments; (e) gains, losses and costs due to the early retirement of debt; and (f) costs directly associated with a major restructuring program, including, but not limited to, workforce reduction efforts, relocations, and office consolidation. adjusted ptc also includes net equity in earnings of affiliates on an after-tax basis adjusted for the same gains or losses excluded from consolidated entities. the company has concluded adjusted ptc better reflects the underlying business performance of the company and is the most relevant measure considered in the company's internal evaluation of the financial performance of its segments. additionally, given its large number of businesses and complexity, the company concluded that adjusted ptc is a more transparent measure that better assists investors in determining which businesses have the greatest impact on the company's results. revenue and adjusted ptc are presented before inter-segment eliminations, which includes the effect of intercompany transactions with other segments except for interest, charges for certain management fees, and the write-off of intercompany balances, as applicable. all intra-segment activity has been eliminated within the segment. inter-segment activity has been eliminated within the total consolidated results. the following tables present financial information by segment for the periods indicated (in millions):.

notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) march 31, 2004 5. income taxes (continued) the effective tax rate of zero differs from the statutory rate of 34% (34%) primarily due to the inability of the company to recognize deferred tax assets for its operating losses and tax credits. of the total valuation allowance, approximately $2400000 relates to stock option compensation deductions. the tax benefit associated with the stock option compensation deductions will be credited to equity when realized. 6. commitments and contingencies the company applies the disclosure provisions of fin no. 45, guarantor 2019s accounting and disclosure requirements for guarantees, including guarantees of indebtedness of others, and interpretation of fasb statements no. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of fasb interpretation no. 34 (fin no. 45) to its agreements that contain guarantee or indemnification clauses. these disclosure provisions expand those required by sfas no. 5, accounting for contingencies, by requiring that guarantors disclose certain types of guarantees, even if the likelihood of requiring the guarantor 2019s performance is remote. the following is a description of arrangements in which the company is a guarantor. product warranties 2013 the company routinely accrues for estimated future warranty costs on its product sales at the time of sale. the ab5000 and bvs products are subject to rigorous regulation and quality standards. while the company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including monitoring and evaluating the quality of component suppliers, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates. operating results could be adversely effected if the actual cost of product failures exceeds the estimated warranty provision. patent indemnifications 2013 in many sales transactions, the company indemnifies customers against possible claims of patent infringement caused by the company 2019s products. the indemnifications contained within sales contracts usually do not include limits on the claims. the company has never incurred any material costs to defend lawsuits or settle patent infringement claims related to sales transactions. under the provisions of fin no. 45, intellectual property indemnifications require disclosure only. as of march 31, 2004, the company had entered into leases for its facilities, including its primary operating facility in danvers, massachusetts, with terms through fiscal 2010. the company has elected not to exercise a buyout option available under its primary lease that would have allowed for early termination in 2005. total rent expense under these leases, included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, was approximately $856000, $823000 and $821000 for the fiscal years ended march 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively. during the fiscal year ended march 31, 2000, the company entered into 36-month operating leases totaling approximately $644000 for the lease of office furniture. these leases ended in fiscal year 2003 and at the company 2019s option the furniture was purchased. rental expense recorded for these leases during the fiscal years ended march 31, 2002 and 2003 was approximately $215000 and $127000 respectively. during fiscal 2000, the company entered into a 36-month capital lease for computer equipment and software for approximately $221000. this lease ended in fiscal year 2003 and at the company 2019s option these assets were purchased. future minimum lease payments under all non-cancelable operating leases as of march 31, 2004 are approximately as follows (in thousands):.
year ending march 31, | operating leases
2005 | $781
2006 | 776
2007 | 769
2008 | 772
2009 | 772
thereafter | 708
total future minimum lease payments | $4578
from time-to-time, the company is involved in legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. while any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, management, in consultation with the company 2019s general counsel, presently believes that the outcome of each such other proceedings or claims which are pending or known to be threatened, or all of them combined, will not have a material adverse effect on the company..
what is the last year included in the remaining terms of the facility leases? 2010.0
and what is the first year?

inventory on hand, as well as our future purchase commitments with our suppliers, considering multiple factors, including demand forecasts, product life cycle, current sales levels, pricing strategy and cost trends. if our review indicates that inventories of raw materials, components or finished products have become obsolete or are in excess of anticipated demand or that inventory cost exceeds net realizable value, we may be required to make adjustments that will impact the results of operations. goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets valuation - we test goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if events occur that would warrant such review. while the company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment for both goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets to determine if it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, the company elects to perform the quantitative assessment for our annual impairment analysis. the impairment analysis involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit or non-amortizable intangible asset to the carrying value. if the carrying value exceeds the fair value, goodwill or a non-amortizable intangible asset is considered impaired. to determine the fair value of goodwill, we primarily use a discounted cash flow model, supported by the market approach using earnings multiples of comparable global and local companies within the tobacco industry. at december 31, 2018, the carrying value of our goodwill was $7.2 billion, which is related to ten reporting units, each of which consists of a group of markets with similar economic characteristics. the estimated fair value of each of our ten reporting units exceeded the carrying value as of december 31, 2018. to determine the fair value of non-amortizable intangible assets, we primarily use a discounted cash flow model applying the relief-from-royalty method. we concluded that the fair value of our non- amortizable intangible assets exceeded the carrying value. these discounted cash flow models include management assumptions relevant for forecasting operating cash flows, which are subject to changes in business conditions, such as volumes and prices, costs to produce, discount rates and estimated capital needs. management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values are estimated, and we believe these assumptions are consistent with the assumptions a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. since the march 28, 2008, spin-off from altria group, inc., we have not recorded a charge to earnings for an impairment of goodwill or non-amortizable intangible assets. marketing costs - we incur certain costs to support our products through programs that include advertising, marketing, consumer engagement and trade promotions. the costs of our advertising and marketing programs are expensed in accordance with u.s. gaap. recognition of the cost related to our consumer engagement and trade promotion programs contain uncertainties due to the judgment required in estimating the potential performance and compliance for each program. for volume-based incentives provided to customers, management continually assesses and estimates, by customer, the likelihood of the customer's achieving the specified targets, and records the reduction of revenue as the sales are made. for other trade promotions, management relies on estimated utilization rates that have been developed from historical experience. changes in the assumptions used in estimating the cost of any individual marketing program would not result in a material change in our financial position, results of operations or operating cash flows. employee benefit plans - as discussed in item 8, note 13. benefit plans to our consolidated financial statements, we provide a range of benefits to our employees and retired employees, including pensions, postretirement health care and postemployment benefits (primarily severance). we record annual amounts relating to these plans based on calculations specified by u.s. gaap. these calculations include various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed rates of return on plan assets, compensation increases, mortality, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. we review actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so. as permitted by u.s. gaap, any effect of the modifications is generally amortized over future periods. we believe that the assumptions utilized in calculating our obligations under these plans are reasonable based upon our historical experience and advice from our actuaries. weighted-average discount rate assumptions for pension and postretirement plan obligations at december 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:.
- | 2018 | 2017
pension plans | 1.61% (1.61%) | 1.51% (1.51%)
postretirement plans | 3.97% (3.97%) | 3.79% (3.79%)
we anticipate that assumption changes will increase 2019 pre-tax pension and postretirement expense to approximately $205 million as compared with approximately $160 million in 2018, excluding amounts related to employee severance and early retirement programs. the anticipated increase is primarily due to higher amortization out of other comprehensive earnings for unrecognized actuarial gains/ losses of $14 million, coupled with lower return on assets of $16 million, higher interest and service cost of $12 million and $4 million respectively, partially offset by other movements of $1 million. weighted-average expected rate of return and discount rate assumptions have a significant effect on the amount of expense reported for the employee benefit plans. a fifty-basis-point decrease in our discount rate would increase our 2019 pension and postretirement expense by approximately $50 million, and a fifty-basis-point increase in our discount rate would decrease our 2019 pension and postretirement.
what was the weighted average discount rate for postretirement plans in 2018?

rental expense for operating leases was approximately $66.9 million, $57.2 million and $49.0 million during the years ended december 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. in connection with the acquisitions of several businesses, we entered into agreements with several sellers of those businesses, some of whom became stockholders as a result of those acquisitions, for the lease of certain properties used in our operations. typical lease terms under these agreements include an initial term of five years, with three to five five-year renewal options and purchase options at various times throughout the lease periods. we also maintain the right of first refusal concerning the sale of the leased property. lease payments to an employee who became an officer of the company after the acquisition of his business were approximately $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.9 million during each of the years ended december 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. we guarantee the residual values of the majority of our truck and equipment operating leases. the residual values decline over the lease terms to a defined percentage of original cost. in the event the lessor does not realize the residual value when a piece of equipment is sold, we would be responsible for a portion of the shortfall. similarly, if the lessor realizes more than the residual value when a piece of equipment is sold, we would be paid the amount realized over the residual value. had we terminated all of our operating leases subject to these guarantees at december 31, 2010, the guaranteed residual value would have totaled approximately $31.4 million. we have not recorded a liability for the guaranteed residual value of equipment under operating leases as the recovery on disposition of the equipment under the leases is expected to approximate the guaranteed residual value. litigation and related contingencies in december 2005 and may 2008, ford global technologies, llc filed complaints with the international trade commission against us and others alleging that certain aftermarket parts imported into the u.s. infringed on ford design patents. the parties settled these matters in april 2009 pursuant to a settlement arrangement that expires in september 2011. pursuant to the settlement, we (and our designees) became the sole distributor in the u.s. of aftermarket automotive parts that correspond to ford collision parts that are covered by a u.s. design patent. we have paid ford an upfront fee for these rights and will pay a royalty for each such part we sell. the amortization of the upfront fee and the royalty expenses are reflected in cost of goods sold on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. we also have certain other contingencies resulting from litigation, claims and other commitments and are subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. we currently expect that the resolution of such contingencies will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows..

these purchase agreements are not marked to market. the company purchased $37.3 million, $29.4 million, and $14.5 million during the years ended december 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, under these purchase agreements. litigation pca is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. these legal actions cover a broad variety of claims spanning our entire business. as of the date of this filing, the company believes it is not reasonably possible that the resolution of these legal actions will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. environmental liabilities the potential costs for various environmental matters are uncertain due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible cleanup costs, the complexity and evolving nature of governmental laws and regulations and their interpretations, and the timing, varying costs and effectiveness of alternative cleanup technologies. from 1994 through 2009, remediation costs at the company 2019s mills and corrugated plants totaled approximately $3.2 million. as of december 31, 2009, the company maintained an environmental reserve of $9.1 million relating to on-site landfills (see note 13) and surface impoundments as well as ongoing and anticipated remedial projects. liabilities recorded for environmental contingencies are estimates of the probable costs based upon available information and assumptions. because of these uncertainties, pca 2019s estimates may change. as of the date of this filing, the company believes that it is not reasonably possible that future environmental expenditures and asset retirement obligations above the $9.1 million accrued as of december 31, 2009, will have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. in connection with the sale to pca of its containerboard and corrugated products business, pactiv agreed to retain all liability for all former facilities and all sites associated with pre-closing off-site waste disposal and all environmental liabilities related to a closed landfill located near the company 2019s filer city mill. 13. asset retirement obligations asset retirement obligations consist primarily of landfill capping and closure and post-closure costs. pca is legally required to perform capping and closure and post-closure care on the landfills at each of the company 2019s mills. in accordance with asc 410, 201c asset retirement and environmental obligations, 201d pca recognizes the fair value of these liabilities as an asset retirement obligation for each landfill and capitalizes packaging corporation of america notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) december 31, 2009.

the table below reflects the estimated effects on pension expense of certain changes in annual assumptions, using 2012 estimated expense as a baseline. change in assumption (a) estimated increase to 2012 pension expense (in millions).
change in assumption (a) | estimatedincrease to 2012pensionexpense (in millions)
.5% (.5%) decrease in discount rate | $23
.5% (.5%) decrease in expected long-term return on assets | $18
.5% (.5%) increase in compensation rate | $2
(a) the impact is the effect of changing the specified assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. our pension plan contribution requirements are not particularly sensitive to actuarial assumptions. investment performance has the most impact on contribution requirements and will drive the amount of permitted contributions in future years. also, current law, including the provisions of the pension protection act of 2006, sets limits as to both minimum and maximum contributions to the plan. we do not expect to be required by law to make any contributions to the plan during 2012. we maintain other defined benefit plans that have a less significant effect on financial results, including various nonqualified supplemental retirement plans for certain employees. recourse and repurchase obligations as discussed in note 3 loan sale and servicing activities and variable interest entities in the notes to consolidated financial statements in item 8 of this report, pnc has sold commercial mortgage and residential mortgage loans directly or indirectly in securitizations and whole-loan sale transactions with continuing involvement. one form of continuing involvement includes certain recourse and loan repurchase obligations associated with the transferred assets in these transactions. commercial mortgage loan recourse obligations we originate, close, and service certain multi-family commercial mortgage loans which are sold to fnma under fnma 2019s delegated underwriting and servicing (dus) program. we participated in a similar program with the fhlmc. under these programs, we generally assume up to a one-third pari passu risk of loss on unpaid principal balances through a loss share arrangement. at december 31, 2011 and december 31, 2010, the unpaid principal balance outstanding of loans sold as a participant in these programs was $13.0 billion and $13.2 billion, respectively. the potential maximum exposure under the loss share arrangements was $4.0 billion at both december 31, 2011 and december 31, 2010. we maintain a reserve for estimated losses based on our exposure. the reserve for losses under these programs totaled $47 million and $54 million as of december 31, 2011 and december 31, 2010, respectively, and is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. if payment is required under these programs, we would not have a contractual interest in the collateral underlying the mortgage loans on which losses occurred, although the value of the collateral is taken into account in determining our share of such losses. our exposure and activity associated with these recourse obligations are reported in the corporate & institutional banking segment. residential mortgage loan and home equity repurchase obligations while residential mortgage loans are sold on a non-recourse basis, we assume certain loan repurchase obligations associated with mortgage loans we have sold to investors. these loan repurchase obligations primarily relate to situations where pnc is alleged to have breached certain origination covenants and representations and warranties made to purchasers of the loans in the respective purchase and sale agreements. residential mortgage loans covered by these loan repurchase obligations include first and second-lien mortgage loans we have sold through agency securitizations, non-agency securitizations, and whole-loan sale transactions. as discussed in note 3 in the notes to consolidated financial statements in item 8 of this report, agency securitizations consist of mortgage loans sale transactions with fnma, fhlmc, and the government national mortgage association (gnma) program, while non-agency securitizations and whole-loan sale transactions consist of mortgage loans sale transactions with private investors. our historical exposure and activity associated with agency securitization repurchase obligations has primarily been related to transactions with fnma and fhlmc, as indemnification and repurchase losses associated with federal housing agency (fha) and department of veterans affairs (va) -insured and uninsured loans pooled in gnma securitizations historically have been minimal. repurchase obligation activity associated with residential mortgages is reported in the residential mortgage banking segment. pnc 2019s repurchase obligations also include certain brokered home equity loans/lines that were sold to a limited number of private investors in the financial services industry by national city prior to our acquisition. pnc is no longer engaged in the brokered home equity lending business, and our exposure under these loan repurchase obligations is limited to repurchases of the whole-loans sold in these transactions.
