Benefit Plans [Abstract] |
Benefit Plans | Note 13. Benefit Plans Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans covering the majority of eligible employees on a contributory or non-contributory basis. Benefits under defined benefit plans are generally based on years of service and an employee's career earnings. Employees generally become fully vested after five years. The Company also provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for the majority of its U.S. retired employees. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. The Company does not pre-fund these benefits and has the right to modify or terminate the plan in the future. The Company’s disclosures for the U.S. plans have been combined with those outside of the U.S. as the international plans do not have significantly different assumptions, and together represent less than 25% of our total benefit obligation. The following table set forth Company's pension obligation and funded status at December 31:

Unrecognized prior service cost is amortized over the average remaining service period of each active employee. The Company's funding policy for U.S. plans generally is to contribute annually into trust funds at a rate that provides for future plan benefits and maintains appropriate funded percentages. Annual contributions to the U.S. qualified plans are at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards and are not more than the maximum amount deductible for income tax purposes. The funding policies for the international plans conform to local governmental and tax requirements. The plans' assets are invested primarily in stocks and bonds. The 2018 estimated amortization of amounts in other accumulated comprehensive income are as follows:
|  | Pension Benefits |  |  | Post-Retirement Benefits |
|  | (millions of dollars) |
Amortization of prior service credit (gain) loss |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | (0.9 | )
Amortization of net (gain) loss |  |  | 11.5 |  |  |  | (0.6 | )

Additional Information The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost in the accounting for the pension benefit plans and other benefit plans for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:
|  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Discount rate |  |  | 3.56 | % |  |  | 3.88 | % |  |  | 3.71 | %
Expected return on plan assets |  |  | 6.61 | % |  |  | 6.89 | % |  |  | 6.89 | %
Rate of compensation increase |  |  | 3.01 | % |  |  | 3.03 | % |  |  | 3.04 | %
The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations for the pension benefit plans and other benefit plans at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:
|  | 2017 |  |  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Discount rate |  |  | 3.16 | % |  |  | 3.60 | % |  |  | 3.89 | %
Rate of compensation increase |  |  | 3.01 | % |  |  | 2.96 | % |  |  | 3.04 | %
For 2017, 2016 and 2015, the discount rate was based on a Citigroup yield curve of high quality corporate bonds with cash flows matching our plans' expected benefit payments. The expected return on plan assets is based on our asset allocation mix and our historical return, taking into account current and expected market conditions. The actual return on pension assets was approximately 11% in 2017, 8% in 2016 and 1% in 2015. The Company maintains a self-funded health insurance plan for its retirees. This plan provided that the maximum health care cost trend rate would be 5%. Effective June 2010, the Company amended its plan to change the eligibility requirement for retirees and revised its plan so that increases in expected health care costs would be borne by the retiree. Plan Assets The Company's pension plan weighted average asset allocation percentages at December 31, 2017 and 2016 by asset category are as follows:

U.S. equities—This class included actively and passively managed common equity securities comprised primarily of large-capitalization stocks with value, core and growth strategies. Non-U.S. equities—This class included actively managed common equity securities comprised primarily of international large-capitalization stocks. Fixed income—This class included debt instruments issued by the US Treasury, and corporate debt instruments. Real Estate and other— This class includes assets related to real estate and other assets such as insurance contracts. Asset classified as Level 1 are valued using quoted prices on major stock exchange on which individual assets are traded. Our Level 2 assets are valued using net asset value. The net asset value is quoted on a private market that is not active; however, the unit price is based on the underlying investments that are traded on an active market. Our Level 3 assets are estimated at fair value based on the most recent financial information available for the underlying securities, which are not traded on active market, and represents significant unobservable input. The following is a reconciliation of changes in fair value measurement of plan assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Investment Strategies The investment strategy for pension plan assets is to maintain a broadly diversified portfolio designed to both preserve and grow plan assets to meet future plan obligations. The Company's average rate of return on assets from inception through December 31, 2017 was over 9%. The Company’s assets are strategically allocated among equity, debt and other investments to achieve a diversification level that dampens fluctuations in investment returns. The Company’s long-term investment strategy is an investment portfolio mix of approximately 55%-65% in equity securities, 30%-35% in fixed income securities and 0%-15% in other securities. Savings and Investment Plans The Company maintains a voluntary Savings and Investment Plan (a 401(k) plan) for most non-union employees in the U.S. Within prescribed limits, the Company bases its contribution to the Savings and Investment Plan on employee contributions. The Company's contributions amounted to $5.2 million, $5.1 million and $6.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
