The net periodic pension cost is included in Cost of sales and Selling and administrative line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Foreign currency translation adjustments exclude income tax expense (benefit) given that these adjustments arise out of the translation of assets into the reporting currency that is separate from the taxable income and is deemed to be reinvested for an indefinite period of time. The pension adjustments included income tax benefits of $3.9 million, $17.7 million and $15.5 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013. The unrealized gain (loss) on investments included tax provisions of $0.7 million, $0.3 million and $0.6 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013.
