Net periodic benefit cost is primarily included in cost of sales and selling and administrative expense on our consolidated income statements. The amount of net periodic benefit cost capitalized in 2014 and 2013 was not material.

For the three months ended 31 December 2014 and 2013, our cash contributions to funded pension plans and benefit payments under unfunded pension plans were $76.4 and $31.4 , respectively. Total contributions for fiscal 2015 are expected to be approximately $130 to $150. During fiscal 2014, total contributions were $78.2.
