(1) | Net investment hedge contracts consist of cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts. We also designate some of our non-U.S. dollar denominated debt to hedge a portion of our net investments in our non-U.S. operations. This debt is not reflected in the table above, but is included in long-term debt discussed in Note 9, Debt and Borrowing Arrangements. Both net investment hedge derivative contracts and non-U.S. dollar denominated debt acting as net investment hedges are also disclosed in the Derivative Volume table and the Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations section appearing later in this footnote.
Derivatives designated as accounting hedges above include cash flow and net investment hedge derivative contracts. Our currency exchange and commodity derivative contracts are economic hedges that are not designated as accounting hedges. We record derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our asset derivatives is recorded within other current assets and the fair value of our liability derivatives is recorded within other current liabilities. The fair values (asset/(liability)) of our derivative instruments were determined using:

Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of exchange-traded commodity futures and listed options. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on quoted market prices on commodity exchanges. Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of over-the-counter (“OTC”) currency exchange forwards, options and swaps; commodity forwards and options; and interest rate swaps. Our currency exchange contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount or based on pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as commodity prices. Our calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the observable market interest rate curve. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk. Our OTC derivative transactions are governed by International Swap Dealers Association agreements and other standard industry contracts. Under these agreements, we do not post nor require collateral from our counterparties. The majority of our derivative contracts do not have a legal right of set-off. We manage the credit risk in connection with these and all our derivatives by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure with each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties. Derivative Volume: The gross notional values of our derivative instruments were:

(1) | During the fourth quarter of 2019, we changed how we report our commodity contract notional values from a net to a gross basis in line with how we report our other instruments. We have recast 2018 to be consistent with current year presentation.
Cash Flow Hedges: Cash flow hedge activity, net of taxes, within accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) included:
| For the Years Ended December 31,
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017
| (in millions)
Accumulated (loss)/gain at beginning of period | $ | (167 | ) |  | $ | (113 | ) |  | $ | (121 | )

Accumulated (loss)/gain at end of period | $ | (212 | ) |  | $ | (167 | ) |  | $ | (113 | )
After-tax gains/(losses) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into net earnings were:
| For the Years Ended December 31,
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017
| (in millions)

Total | $ | (154 | ) |  | $ | 9 |  |  | $ | (27 | )
Within interest and other expense, net, we recognized a loss of $111 million in 2019 and a gain of $10 million in 2018 related to certain forward-starting interest rate swaps for which the planned timing and currency of the related forecasted debt was changed. During the second quarter of 2019, we also recognized a loss of $12 million related to the net loss on equity method investment transactions noted in Note 7, Equity Method Investments - JDE / Keurig Exchange. After-tax gains/(losses) recognized in other comprehensive earnings/(losses) were:
| For the Years Ended December 31,

Total | $ | (199 | ) |  | $ | (45 | ) |  | $ | (19 | )
Cash flow hedge ineffectiveness was not material for all periods presented. We record pre-tax (i) gains or losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive earnings/(losses) into earnings, (ii) gains or losses on ineffectiveness and (iii) gains or losses on amounts excluded from effectiveness testing in:
• | cost of sales for currency exchange contracts related to forecasted transactions;
• | cost of sales for commodity contracts; and
• | interest and other expense, net for interest rate contracts and currency exchange contracts related to intercompany loans.
Based on current market conditions, we would expect to transfer losses of $15 million (net of taxes) for interest rate cash flow hedges to earnings during the next 12 months. Cash Flow Hedge Coverage: As of December 31, 2019, our longest dated cash flow hedges were interest rate swaps that hedge forecasted interest rate payments over the next 4 years and 9 months. Hedges of Net Investments in International Operations: Net investment hedge ("NIH") derivative contracts: We enter into cross-currency interest rate swaps and forwards to hedge certain investments in our non-U.S. operations against movements in exchange rates. As of December 31, 2019, the aggregate notional value of these NIH derivative contracts was $6.9 billion and their impact on other comprehensive earnings and net earnings during the years presented below were as follows:
| For the Years Ended December 31,
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017
| (in millions)
After-tax gain/(loss) on NIH contracts(1) | $ | (6 | ) |  | $ | 191 |  |  | $ | — |
(1) | Amounts recorded for unsettled and settled NIH derivative contracts are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment within other comprehensive earnings. The cash flows from the settled contracts are reported within other investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
| For the Years Ended December 31,
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2017
| (in millions)
Amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness(1) | $ | 133 |  |  | $ | 120 |  |  | $ | — |
(1) | We elected to record changes in the fair value of amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness in net earnings within interest and other expense, net.
