Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | 13. Hedging Activities Undesignated Hedges The table below includes a total gross notional value for the foreign currency hedges related to translated earnings of $13.2 billion at June 30, 2015 (at December 31, 2014: $12.1 billion), including purchased and zero-cost collars of $5.3 billion (at December 31, 2014: $2.3 billion) and average rate forwards of $7.9 billion (at December 31, 2014: $9.8 billion). With respect to the purchased and zero-cost collars, the gross notional amount includes the value of both the put and call options. However, due to the nature of the purchased and zero-cost collars, either the put or the call option can be exercised at maturity. As of June 30, 2015, the total net notional value of the purchased and zero-cost collars was $2.8 billion (at December 31, 2014: $1.2 billion). The following tables summarize the notional amounts and respective fair values of Corning’s derivative financial instruments on a gross basis for June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in millions):
