FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS [Abstract] |
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Financial Risk Management and Derivative Instruments The Company is exposed to certain commodity, foreign currency and interest rate risks related to its ongoing business operations and uses derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to these risks. Commodity Price Risk Management The Company may use commodity exchange traded futures and over-the-counter swap contracts, which are generally no longer than 2 years, to fix the price of a portion of its forecasted raw material requirements. Commodity purchase contracts are measured at fair value using market quotations obtained from the Chicago Board of Trade commodity futures exchange and commodity derivative dealers. As of March 31, 2019, the notional amount of commodity derivatives was $29, of which $18 related to soybean oil futures used for the food business and $11 related to jet fuel swaps used for the charcoal business. As of June 30, 2018, the notional amount of commodity derivatives was $34, of which $24 related to soybean oil futures and $10 related to jet fuel swaps. Foreign Currency Risk Management The Company may also enter into certain over-the-counter derivative contracts to manage a portion of the Company’s forecasted foreign currency exposure associated with the purchase of inventory. These foreign currency contracts generally have durations of no longer than 2 years. The foreign exchange contracts are measured at fair value using information quoted by foreign exchange dealers. The notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts used by the Company’s subsidiaries to hedge forecasted purchases of inventory were $50 as of both March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018. Interest Rate Risk Management The Company may enter into over-the-counter interest rate forward contracts to fix a portion of the benchmark interest rate prior to the anticipated issuance of fixed rate debt or to manage the Company’s level of fixed and floating rate debt. These interest rate forward contracts generally have durations of less than 12 months. The interest rate contracts are measured at fair value using information quoted by U.S. government bond dealers. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company had no outstanding interest rate forward contracts. Commodity, Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Derivatives The Company designates its commodity forward and futures contracts for forecasted purchases of raw materials, foreign currency forward contracts for forecasted purchases of inventory, and interest rate forward contracts for forecasted interest payments as cash flow hedges. The effects of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments on Other comprehensive income and Net earnings were as follows:

Total | $ | (2 | ) |  | $ | (1 | ) |  | $ | (4 | ) |  | $ | (6 | )
The gains (losses) reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive net (loss) income and recognized in Net earnings during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, for commodity purchase and foreign exchange contracts were included in Cost of products sold, and for interest rate contracts were included in Interest expense. The estimated amount of the existing net gain (loss) in Accumulated other comprehensive net (loss) income as of March 31, 2019, which is expected to be reclassified into Net earnings within the next twelve months, is $(6). Gains and losses on derivative instruments representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in Net earnings. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, hedge ineffectiveness was not significant. Counterparty Risk Management and Derivative Contract Requirements The Company utilizes a variety of financial institutions as counterparties for over-the-counter derivative instruments. The Company enters into agreements governing the use of over-the-counter derivative instruments and sets internal limits on the aggregate over-the-counter derivative instrument positions held with each counterparty. Certain terms of these agreements require the Company or the counterparty to post collateral when the fair value of the derivative instrument exceeds contractually defined counterparty liability position limits. Of the over-the-counter derivative instruments in liability positions held as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, none contained such terms. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, neither the Company nor any counterparty was required to post any collateral as no counterparty liability position limits were exceeded. Certain terms of the agreements governing the Company’s over-the-counter derivative instruments require the credit ratings of the Company and its counterparties, as assigned by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s, to remain at a level equal to or better than the minimum of an investment grade credit rating. If the Company’s credit ratings were to fall below investment grade, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request full collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. As of both March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company and each of its counterparties had been assigned investment grade credit ratings by both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. Certain of the Company’s exchange-traded futures contracts used for commodity price risk management include requirements for the Company to post collateral in the form of a cash margin account held by the Company’s broker for trades conducted on that exchange. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company maintained cash margin balances related to exchange-traded futures contracts of $1 and $2, respectively, which are classified as Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Trust Assets The Company has held interests in mutual funds and cash equivalents as part of the trust assets related to its nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The participants in the nonqualified deferred compensation plans, who are the Company’s current and former employees, may select among certain mutual funds in which to invest their compensation deferrals in accordance with the terms of the plans and within the confines of the trusts, which hold the marketable securities. The trusts represent variable interest entities for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, and, therefore, trust assets are consolidated and included in Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The interests in mutual funds are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. The Company has designated these marketable securities as trading investments. Fair Value Measurements Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories of the fair value hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions. As of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis included derivative financial instruments, which were classified as either Level 1 or Level 2, and trust assets to fund the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plans, which were classified as Level 1. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities for which disclosure of fair value is required:
