Assumptions To Estimate The Fair Value For Stock Options At Grant Date

Fiscal year	2011		2010		2009
Risk-free interest rate: Represents the yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon securities that mature over the ten-year life of the stock options.		0.4% – 3.5%		0.5% – 4.0%		0.7% – 3.3%
Weighted-average volatility: Based on a combination of the historical volatility of our common stock and the implied volatility of exchange traded options for our common stock.		39.0%		40.0%		61.0%
Weighted-average expected dividend yield: Our forecasted dividend yield for the next ten years.		2.0%		1.3%		1.3%
Expected life in years: Represents the estimated period of time until option exercise. The expected term of options granted was derived from the output of the Binomial Lattice option valuation model and was based on our historical exercise behavior, taking into consideration the contractual term of the option and our employees' expected exercise and post–vesting employment termination behavior.		5.9		5.7		5.3
