on the underlying exposure . for derivative contracts that are designated and qualify as cash fl ow hedges , the effective portion of gains and losses on these contracts is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassifi ed into earnings in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings . hedge ineffectiveness is immediately recognized in earnings . derivative contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments are recorded at fair value with the gain or loss recognized in current earnings during the period of change . we may enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to reduce the effect of fl uctuating currency exchange rates ( principally the euro , the british pound , and the japanese yen ) . foreign currency derivatives used for hedging are put in place using the same or like currencies and duration as the underlying exposures . forward contracts are principally used to manage exposures arising from subsidiary trade and loan payables and receivables denominated in foreign currencies . these contracts are recorded at fair value with the gain or loss recognized in other 2014net . the purchased option contracts are used to hedge anticipated foreign currency transactions , primarily intercompany inventory activities expected to occur within the next year . these contracts are designated as cash fl ow hedges of those future transactions and the impact on earnings is included in cost of sales . we may enter into foreign currency forward contracts and currency swaps as fair value hedges of fi rm commitments . forward and option contracts generally have maturities not exceeding 12 months . in the normal course of business , our operations are exposed to fl uctuations in interest rates . these fl uctuations can vary the costs of fi nancing , investing , and operating . we address a portion of these risks through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of derivative fi nancial instruments . the objective of controlling these risks is to limit the impact of fl uctuations in interest rates on earnings . our primary interest rate risk exposure results from changes in short-term u.s . dollar interest rates . in an effort to manage interest rate exposures , we strive to achieve an acceptable balance between fi xed and fl oating rate debt and investment positions and may enter into interest rate swaps or collars to help maintain that balance . interest rate swaps or collars that convert our fi xed- rate debt or investments to a fl oating rate are designated as fair value hedges of the underlying instruments . interest rate swaps or collars that convert fl oating rate debt or investments to a fi xed rate are designated as cash fl ow hedg- es . interest expense on the debt is adjusted to include the payments made or received under the swap agreements . goodwill and other intangibles : goodwill is not amortized . all other intangibles arising from acquisitions and research alliances have fi nite lives and are amortized over their estimated useful lives , ranging from 5 to 20 years , using the straight-line method . the weighted-average amortization period for developed product technology is approximately 12 years . amortization expense for 2008 , 2007 , and 2006 was $ 193.4 million , $ 172.8 million , and $ 7.6 million before tax , respectively . the estimated amortization expense for each of the fi ve succeeding years approximates $ 280 million before tax , per year . substantially all of the amortization expense is included in cost of sales . see note 3 for further discussion of goodwill and other intangibles acquired in 2008 and 2007 . goodwill and other intangible assets at december 31 were as follows: . <table

occurred with respect to the carrying value of our goodwill or other intangible assets in 2008 , 2007 , or 2006 . property and equipment : property and equipment is stated on the basis of cost . provisions for depreciation of buildings and equipment are computed generally by the straight-line method at rates based on their estimated useful lives ( 12 to 50 years for buildings and 3 to 18

we also record an inventory obsolescence reserve , which represents the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated realizable value , based on various product sales projections . this reserve is calcu- lated using an estimated obsolescence percentage applied to the inventory based on age , historical trends and requirements to support forecasted sales . in addition , and as necessary , we may establish specific reserves for future known or anticipated events . pension and other post-retirement benefit costs we offer the following benefits to some or all of our employees : a domestic trust-based noncontributory qual- ified defined benefit pension plan ( 201cu.s . qualified plan 201d ) and an unfunded , non-qualified domestic noncon- tributory pension plan to provide benefits in excess of statutory limitations ( collectively with the u.s . qualified plan , the 201cdomestic plans 201d ) ; a domestic contributory defined contribution plan ; international pension plans , which vary by country , consisting of both defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans ; deferred compensation arrangements ; and certain other post- retirement benefit plans . the amounts needed to fund future payouts under our defined benefit pension and post-retirement benefit plans are subject to numerous assumptions and variables . cer- tain significant variables require us to make assumptions that are within our control such as an anticipated discount rate , expected rate of return on plan assets and future compensation levels . we evaluate these assumptions with our actuarial advisors and select assumptions that we believe reflect the economics underlying our pension and post-retirement obligations . while we believe these assumptions are within accepted industry ranges , an increase or decrease in the assumptions or economic events outside our control could have a direct impact on reported net earnings . the discount rate for each plan used for determining future net periodic benefit cost is based on a review of highly rated long-term bonds . for fiscal 2013 , we used a discount rate for our domestic plans of 3.90% ( 3.90 % ) and vary- ing rates on our international plans of between 1.00% ( 1.00 % ) and 7.00% ( 7.00 % ) . the discount rate for our domestic plans is based on a bond portfolio that includes only long-term bonds with an aa rating , or equivalent , from a major rating agency . as of june 30 , 2013 , we used an above-mean yield curve , rather than the broad-based yield curve we used before , because we believe it represents a better estimate of an effective settlement rate of the obligation , and the timing and amount of cash flows related to the bonds included in this portfolio are expected to match the estimated defined benefit payment streams of our domestic plans . the benefit obligation of our domestic plans would have been higher by approximately $ 34 mil- lion at june 30 , 2013 had we not used the above-mean yield curve . for our international plans , the discount rate in a particular country was principally determined based on a yield curve constructed from high quality corporate bonds in each country , with the resulting portfolio having a duration matching that particular plan . for fiscal 2013 , we used an expected return on plan assets of 7.50% ( 7.50 % ) for our u.s . qualified plan and varying rates of between 2.25% ( 2.25 % ) and 7.00% ( 7.00 % ) for our international plans . in determining the long-term rate of return for a plan , we consider the historical rates of return , the nature of the plan 2019s investments and an expectation for the plan 2019s investment strategies . see 201cnote 12 2014 pension , deferred compensation and post-retirement benefit plans 201d of notes to consolidated financial statements for details regarding the nature of our pension and post-retirement plan invest- ments . the difference between actual and expected return on plan assets is reported as a component of accu- mulated other comprehensive income . those gains/losses that are subject to amortization over future periods will be recognized as a component of the net periodic benefit cost in such future periods . for fiscal 2013 , our pension plans had actual return on assets of approximately $ 74 million as compared with expected return on assets of approximately $ 64 million . the resulting net deferred gain of approximately $ 10 million , when combined with gains and losses from previous years , will be amortized over periods ranging from approximately 7 to 22 years . the actual return on plan assets from our international pen- sion plans exceeded expectations , primarily reflecting a strong performance from fixed income and equity invest- ments . the lower than expected return on assets from our u.s . qualified plan was primarily due to weakness in our fixed income investments , partially offset by our strong equity returns . a 25 basis-point change in the discount rate or the expected rate of return on plan assets would have had the following effect on fiscal 2013 pension expense : 25 basis-point 25 basis-point increase decrease ( in millions ) . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( in millions )</td><td>25 basis-point increase</td><td>25 basis-point decrease</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>discount rate</td><td>$ -3.5 ( 3.5 )</td><td>$ 3.9</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>expected return on assets</td><td>$ -2.5 ( 2.5 )</td><td>$ 2.7</td></tr></table> our post-retirement plans are comprised of health care plans that could be impacted by health care cost trend rates , which may have a significant effect on the amounts the est{e lauder companies inc . 115 .
