The fair values and corresponding classifications under the appropriate level of the fair value hierarchy of outstanding

2011
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Other current liabilities:
Aluminum contracts 1 $ 13 $ 47

* See the “Other” section within Note X for additional information on Alcoa’s purpose for entering into derivatives
not designated as hedging instruments and its overall risk management strategies.
**All margin posted is in the form of cash and is valued under a Level 1 technique. The levels that correspond to the
margin posted in the table above reference the level of the corresponding liability for which it is posted. Alcoa
elected to net the margin posted against the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with
the same counterparties under master netting arrangements.
The following table shows the net fair values of outstanding derivative contracts at December 31, 2012 and the effect
on these amounts of a hypothetical change (increase or decrease of 10%) in the market prices or rates that existed at
December 31, 2012:
Fair value
asset/(liability)
Index change
of + / - 10%
Aluminum contracts $(85) $111
Embedded credit derivative (30) 3
Energy contracts 3 249
Foreign exchange contracts 1 8
Interest rate contracts 28 1
