(h) Property, plant and equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives as follows:
 
     
Buildings
  15-40 years
Plant and equipment
  3-10 years
Leasehold improvements
  Shorter of expected useful life or lease term
 
Land is not depreciated as it is deemed to have an indefinite useful life.
 
Where events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a tangible asset may not be recoverable, we compare the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The carrying amount of the asset is not deemed recoverable if its carrying value exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of that asset. In such event, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the asset’s fair value.
