Administrative Services and Lease
We have historically relied on RGHL Group to provide certain administrative services, including executive management, human resources, procurement, finance, legal, tax and information technology services and use of space in our headquarters building in Lake Forest, Illinois. Total costs allocated to us for these functions were $40 million, $37 million and $39 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These amounts also include allocations of a portion of a related party management fee incurred by RGHL Group of $10 million, $10 million and $13 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Intercompany Indebtedness
We have entered into various interest-bearing lending arrangements with RGHL Group. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 we incurred borrowings of $338 million, $416 million and $634 million, respectively, from RGHL Group and repaid borrowings of $314 million, $456 million and $261 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 we advanced loans of $537 million, $508 million and $650 million, respectively, to RGHL Group and received repayments of $65 million, $200 million and $109 million, respectively. In addition to these amounts, during the year ended December 31, 2016, $162 million of non-current related party receivables was settled by offsetting the balance against our current income taxes payable.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, we incurred $1,350 million of additional borrowings under the RGHL Group Credit Agreement. The cash associated with these additional borrowings, net of $16 million in non-lender fees, was received directly by RGHL Group which resulted in an offsetting reduction in related party borrowings owing to RGHL Group.
The weighted average contractual interest rate related to our related party borrowings as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, was 6.00%, 6.28% and 6.79%, respectively. The weighted average contractual interest rate related to our non-current related party receivables as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, was 2.92%, 1.67% and 0.95%, respectively.
In June 2019, related party receivables were used to reduce the balances outstanding under various related party borrowings. As a result, prior to the Corporate Reorganization, we had borrowings due to RGHL Group, which as of June 30, 2019 were $2,228 million, bear interest at rates of 1% to 3% per annum and mature in 2022 and thereafter.
Contributions of Property, Plant and Equipment
During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, property, plant and equipment related to our Hefty Tableware segment of $17 million, $5 million and $4 million, respectively, were contributed to us by RGHL Group.
