Schedule of Effect of Cash Flow Hedges and Net Investment Hedges on Consolidated Earnings and Consolidated Comprehensive Income, Before Income Taxes

The following table presents interest rate and foreign exchange derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges. The realized and unrealized gain or loss on the derivative is included in Other income/(expense) or Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is included in Other income/(expense) or Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Any excluded components are included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
