[1] Receivables and payables represent amounts for investments sold/purchased but not yet settled along with interest and dividends earned but not yet received.
[2] The expected long-term rates of return for pension and other postretirement benefits are based on management's projections using a best-estimate of expected returns, volatilities and correlations for each asset class. Each plan's specific current and expected asset allocations are also considered in developing a reasonable return assumption.
[3] Includes commingled debt funds and debt securities.
[4] Includes money market funds.
