Financial Instruments and Hedging Activity [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities	Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities At June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, receivables, drafts and accounts payable, short-term borrowings and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition are included in cash and cash equivalents. Included in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were money market fund investments of $0.9 billion and $0.8 billion, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of these investments was determined by using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our long-term debt and other financing were $3.6 billion and $4.2 billion at June 30, 2012, and $3.6 billion and $4.1 billion at March 31, 2012. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt and other financing was determined using quoted market prices and other inputs that were derived from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. In 2012, we entered into a number of forward contracts to hedge Canadian dollar and British pound denominated cash flows with gross notional values of $528 million and $151 million. The contracts to hedge Canadian dollar denominated cash flows mature over a period of eight years and have been designated for hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The contracts to hedge British pound denominated cash flows matured and were settled in the first quarter of 2013 and were not designated for hedge accounting. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts were recorded directly in earnings. At June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the fair value of the remaining contracts and any corresponding net gains or losses for the first quarters of 2013 and 2012 were not material and no amounts were reclassified to earnings. The fair values of all derivatives are considered to be Level 2 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.
