    The preparaton of fnancal statements n conformty wth Internatonal Fnancal Reportng Standards requres theuse of certan crtcal accountng estmates It also requres management to exercse ts udgement n the processof applyng the ompany’s accountng polces The areas nvolvng a hgher degree of udgement or complexty, orareas where assumptons and estmates are sgnfcant to the fnancal statements, are dscussed below

    Pension benefits

    The present value of the penson oblgatons depends on a number of factors that are determned on an actuaralbass usng a number of assumptons The assumptons used n determnng the net cost/ncome for pensonsnclude the dscount rate Any changes n these assumptons wll mpact the carryng amount of pensonoblgatons

    The ompany determnes the approprate dscount rate at the end of each year Ths s the nterest rate that shouldbe used to determne the present value of estmated future cash outflows expected to be requred to settle thepenson oblgatons In determnng the approprate dscount rate, the ompany consders the nterest rates ofmedum term government bonds that are denomnated n the currency n whch the benefts wll be pad, and thathave terms to maturty approxmatng the terms of the related penson oblgaton

    Other key assumptons for penson oblgatons are based n part on current market condtons Addtonal

    nformaton s dsclosed n Note 10Were the dscount rate used to dffer by 10% from management’s estmate, the carryng amount of pensonoblgatons would be an estmated $20082 mllon lower or $25690 mllon hgher In addton, the followng tablesummarses how the defned beneft oblgaton as at December 31, 2015 would have changed as a result of a changen the other assumptons used

    An ncrease of 1 year n the assumed lfe expectances shown above would ncrease the defned beneft oblgaton at

    December 31, 2015 by $6238 mllonThese senstvtes were calculated by recalculatng the defned beneft oblgatons usng the revsed assumptons
