Net periodic benefit costs are allocated among selling, administrative and engineering expense, cost of goods sold and
inventory.
The expected return on plan assets is calculated based on the market-related value of plan assets. The market-related
value of plan assets is different from the fair value in that asset gains/losses are smoothed over a five year period.
Unrecognized gains and losses related to plan obligations and assets are initially recorded in other comprehensive income
and result from actual experience that differs from assumed or expected results, and the impacts of changes in assumptions.
Unrecognized plan asset gains and losses not yet reflected in the market-related value of plan assets are not subject to
amortization. Remaining unrecognized gains and losses that exceed 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the
market-related value of plan assets are amortized to earnings over the estimated future service period of active plan
participants. The impacts of plan amendments, if any, are amortized over the estimated future service period of plan
participants at the time of the amendment.
Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, at December 31, 2015 which have not yet
