Furthermore, an embedded derivative in a power contract that indexes the difference between the long-term debt
ratings of Alcoa and the counterparty from any of the three major credit rating agencies is included in Level 3.
Management uses market prices, historical relationships, and forecast services to determine fair value. Significant
increases or decreases in any of these inputs would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement. A wider credit
spread between Alcoa and the counterparty would result in an increase of the future liability and a higher cost of
power. Realized gains and losses for this embedded derivative were included in Cost of goods sold on the
accompanying Statement of Consolidated Operations and unrealized gains and losses were included in Other income,
net on the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Operations.
