Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for us on May 1, 2018, and will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case we would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. We are currently evaluating the impact the application of ASU 2016-15 will have on our financial statements and disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for us on May 1, 2017, but we have elected to early adopt, as permitted. Effective May 1, 2016, we reclassified the excess tax benefits in historical periods on the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows from financing to operating activities. In addition, we have recorded the excess tax benefits or deficiencies within income taxes in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income on a prospective basis. The impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on May 1, 2016, had an immaterial impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us on May 1, 2019, and will require a modified retrospective application for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented and exclude any leases that expired before the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the impact the application of ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial statements and disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . ASU 2014-09 requires either retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented or retrospective application with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date, which extends the standard effective date by one year . As a result of this issuance, the standard will be effective for us on May 1, 2018, with the option to early adopt at the original effective date of May 1, 2017. We have performed a preliminary review of the new guidance as compared to our current accounting policies, and a contract review is in process. Based on our findings to date, we do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. During 2017, we plan to finalize our review and determine our date of adoption.

Acquisitions

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisition On March 23, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Big Heart Pet Brands (“Big Heart”), a leading producer, distributor, and marketer of premium-quality, branded pet food and pet snacks in the U.S., through the acquisition of Blue Acquisition Group, Inc. (“BAG”), Big Heart’s parent company. As a result of the acquisition, the assets and liabilities of BAG are now held by the Company. The total consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was $5.9 billion , which included the issuance of 17.9 million of our common shares to BAG’s shareholders, valued at $2.0 billion based on the average stock price of our common shares on March 23, 2015. After the closing of the transaction, we had approximately 120.0 million common shares outstanding. We assumed $2.6 billion in debt and paid an additional $1.2 billion in cash, net of a working capital adjustment. As part of the transaction, new debt of $5.5 billion was borrowed, as discussed in Note 8: Debt and Financing Arrangements. The final Big Heart purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. We determined the estimated fair values based on independent appraisals, discounted cash flow analyses, quoted market prices, and estimates made by management. The purchase price allocation included total intangible assets of $3.8 billion . The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and, as a result, the excess was allocated to goodwill. We recognized a total of $3.0 billion of goodwill, representing the value we expect to achieve through the implementation of operational synergies and growth opportunities across our segments. Goodwill was allocated across all reportable segments based on the synergies anticipated to be achieved by each individual reporting unit as a result of the acquisition. Of the total goodwill, $70.4 was deductible for tax purposes.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Integration and Restructuring Costs	Integration and Restructuring Costs Integration Costs: Total one-time costs related to the Big Heart acquisition are anticipated to be approximately $275.0 , of which approximately $50.0 are expected to be noncash charges. These costs are anticipated to be incurred through 2018 and primarily consist of employee-related costs, outside service and consulting costs, and other costs related to the acquisition. Employee-related costs include severance, retention bonuses, and relocation costs. Severance costs and retention bonuses are recognized over the estimated future service period of the affected employees and the remainder is expensed as incurred. The obligation related to employee separation costs is included in other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other costs include professional fees, information systems costs, and other miscellaneous expenditures associated with the integration, which are expensed as incurred. Of the total anticipated one-time costs, we expect to incur $120.0 , $100.0 , and $55.0 in employee-related costs, outside service and consulting costs, and other costs, respectively. We incurred costs of $20.2 and $24.8 during the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to the integration of Big Heart, and total costs from the date of the acquisition were $201.4 as of July 31, 2016 . The majority of these charges were reported in other special project costs in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income and are not allocated to segment profit. Total one-time costs related to the acquisition include $72.7 , $78.2 , and $50.5 of employee-related costs, outside service and consulting costs, and other costs, respectively, including noncash charges of $30.2 , primarily consisting of share-based compensation and accelerated depreciation. During the three months ended July 31, 2016 , we incurred $6.9 , $6.1 , and $7.2 of employee-related costs, outside service and consulting costs, and other costs, respectively, including noncash charges of $5.6 . The obligation related to severance costs and retention bonuses was $4.9 and $13.4 at July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, respectively. Restructuring Costs: In addition to the integration costs discussed above, an organization optimization program was approved by the Board of Directors during the fourth quarter of 2016 as part of our ongoing efforts to reduce costs, integrate, and optimize the combined organization. Total restructuring costs are expected to be approximately $40.0 , of which approximately half represents employee-related costs, and the remainder primarily consists of site preparation, equipment relocation, and production start-up costs. Included in the total restructuring costs are approximately $8.0 of noncash charges related to accelerated depreciation. In addition, we expect to invest approximately $15.0 to $17.0 in capital expenditures. During the three months ended July 31, 2016 , we incurred $ 4.0 , $ 1.1 , and $ 0.9 of employee-related costs, outside service and consulting costs, and other costs, respectively, including noncash charges of $ 0.9 . In 2016, we incurred employee-related costs of $1.3 . Employee separation costs primarily consist of severance costs and retention bonuses. Severance costs and retention bonuses are recognized over the estimated future service period of the affected employees and the remainder is expensed as incurred. The obligation related to severance costs and retention bonuses was $ 3.5 and $ 1.3 at July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, respectively. The remaining costs are anticipated to be recognized through 2018, with the majority of the costs expected to be recognized by the end of 2017. Upon completion, the restructuring plan will result in a reduction of approximately 125 full-time positions. As part of this program, we will discontinue the production of coffee at our Harahan, Louisiana, facility and consolidate all roast and ground coffee production into one of our facilities in New Orleans, Louisiana, which we expect to complete by December 2017. Additionally, we will exit two leased facilities in Livermore, California, and consolidate all ancient grains and pasta production into our facility in Chico, California, which we expect to complete by January 2017.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Divestiture	Divestiture On December 31, 2015, we sold our U.S. canned milk brands and operations to Eagle Family Foods Group LLC, a subsidiary of funds affiliated with Kelso & Company. The transaction included canned milk products that were primarily sold in U.S. retail and foodservice channels under the Eagle Brand ® and Magnolia ® brands, along with other branded and private label trade names, with annual net sales of approximately $ 200.0 . Our manufacturing facilities in El Paso, Texas, and Seneca, Missouri, were included in the transaction, but our canned milk business in Canada was not included. The operating results for this business were primarily included in the U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment prior to the sale on December 31, 2015. We received proceeds from the divestiture of $ 193.7 , which were net of transaction costs and a working capital adjustment. Upon completion of the transaction, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $ 25.3 in 2016.

Reportable Segments

Reportable Segments	3 Months Ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Reportable Segments	Reportable Segments We operate in one industry: the manufacturing and marketing of food and beverage products. We have three reportable segments: U.S. Retail Coffee, U.S. Retail Consumer Foods, and U.S. Retail Pet Foods. Within our segment results, International and Foodservice represents a combination of the strategic business areas not included in the U.S. retail market segments. The U.S. Retail Coffee segment primarily includes the domestic sales of Folgers ® , Dunkin’ Donuts ® , and Café Bustelo ® branded coffee; the U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment primarily includes the domestic sales of Jif ® , Smucker’s ® , Crisco ® , and Pillsbury ® branded products; and the U.S. Retail Pet Foods segment primarily includes the domestic sales of Meow Mix ® , Milk-Bone ® , Natural Balance ® , Kibbles ’n Bits ® , 9Lives ® , Pup-Peroni ® , Nature’s Recipe ® , and Gravy Train ® branded products. International and Foodservice is comprised of products distributed domestically and in foreign countries through retail channels and foodservice distributors and operators (e.g., restaurants, lodging, schools and universities, health care operators). Segment profit represents net sales, less direct and allocable operating expenses, and is consistent with the way in which we manage our segments. However, we do not represent that the segments, if operated independently, would report operating profit equal to the segment profit set forth below as segment profit excludes certain expenses such as corporate administrative expenses, unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative activities, and amortization expense related to intangible assets, including any related impairment charges. Effective May 1, 2016, the segment profit calculation was revised to exclude amortization expense related to intangible assets as we believe that excluding amortization expense related to intangible assets from segment operating results is more reflective of our operating performance and the way in which we manage our business. Consistent with prior periods, commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative gains and losses are reported in unallocated derivative gains and losses outside of segment operating results until the related inventory is sold. At that time, we reclassify the hedge gains and losses from unallocated derivative gains and losses to segment profit, allowing our segments to realize the economic effect of the hedge without experiencing any mark-to-market volatility. We would expect that any gain or loss in the estimated fair value of the derivatives would generally be offset by a change in the estimated fair value of the underlying exposures. Prior year segment results have been modified to conform to the revised segment profit presentation excluding amortization expense related to intangible assets.

In March 2015, we entered into a senior unsecured delayed-draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Term Loan”) with a syndicate of banks and an available commitment amount of $1.8 billion . Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest on the prevailing U.S. Prime Rate or London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), based on our election, and is payable either on a quarterly basis or at the end of the borrowing term. The weighted-average interest rate on the Term Loan at July 31, 2016 , was 1.74 percent . The Term Loan requires quarterly amortization payments of 2.50 percent of the original principal amount, starting in the third quarter of 2016. Voluntary prepayments are permitted without premium or penalty and are applied to the schedule of required quarterly minimum payment obligations in direct order of maturity. As of July 31, 2016 , we have prepaid $1.1 billion on the Term Loan to date, including $100.0 in the first quarter of 2017, and therefore no additional payments are required until final maturity of the loan agreement on March 23, 2020. Also in March 2015, we completed an offering of $3.7 billion in Senior Notes due beginning March 15, 2018 through March 15, 2045. The proceeds from the offering, along with the Term Loan, were used to partially finance the Big Heart acquisition, pay off the debt assumed as part of the acquisition, and prepay our privately placed Senior Notes. All of our Senior Notes outstanding at July 31, 2016 , are unsecured and interest is paid semiannually. There are no required scheduled principal payments on our Senior Notes. We may prepay at any time all or part of the Senior Notes at 100 percent of the principal amount thereof, together with the accrued and unpaid interest, and any applicable make-whole amount. During 2014, we entered into an interest rate swap designated as a fair value hedge of the 3.50 percent Senior Notes due October 15, 2021, which was subsequently terminated in 2015. At July 31, 2016 , the remaining benefit of $42.0 resulting from the termination was recorded as an increase in the long-term debt balance and will be recognized ratably as a reduction to future interest expense over the remaining life of the related debt. For additional information, see Note 10: Derivative Financial Instruments. We have available a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with a group of 11 banks that matures in September 2018. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest based on the prevailing U.S. Prime Rate, Canadian Base Rate, LIBOR, or Canadian Dealer Offered Rate, based on our election. Interest is payable either on a quarterly basis or at the end of the borrowing term. At July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, we did no t have a balance outstanding under the revolving credit facility. We participate in a commercial paper program under which we can issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper not to exceed $1.0 billion at any time. The commercial paper program is backed by our revolving credit facility and reduces what we can borrow under the revolving credit facility by the amount of commercial paper outstanding. Commercial paper will be used as a continuing source of short-term financing for general corporate purposes. As of July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, we had $306.0 and $284.0 of short-term borrowings outstanding, respectively, all of which were issued under our commercial paper program at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.65 percent . Interest paid totaled $3.6 and $7.2 for the three months ended July 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. This differs from interest expense due to the timing of payments, amortization of fair value swap adjustments, amortization of debt issuance costs, and capitalized interest. Our debt instruments contain certain financial covenant restrictions, including a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. We are in compliance with all covenants.

The amendments resulted in an immaterial net settlement loss during the three months ended July 31, 2016, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $25.2 at July 31, 2016. We anticipate future savings to be realized as a result of the plan changes, which will be complete by December 31, 2017.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. To manage the volatility related to these exposures, we enter into various derivative transactions. We have policies in place that define acceptable instrument types we may enter into and establish controls to limit our market risk exposure. Commodity Price Management: We enter into commodity derivatives to manage the price volatility and reduce the variability of future cash flows related to anticipated inventory purchases of key raw materials, notably green coffee, corn, edible oils, soybean meal, and wheat. We also enter into commodity derivatives to manage price risk for energy input costs, including diesel fuel and natural gas. Our derivative instruments generally have maturities of less than one year . We do not qualify commodity derivatives for hedge accounting treatment and, as a result, the derivative gains and losses are immediately recognized in earnings. Although we do not perform the assessments required to achieve hedge accounting for derivative positions, we believe all of our commodity derivatives are economic hedges of our risk exposure. The commodities hedged have a high inverse correlation to price changes of the derivative commodity instrument. Thus, we would expect that over time any gain or loss in the estimated fair value of the derivatives would generally be offset by an increase or decrease in the estimated fair value of the underlying exposures. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Hedging: We utilize foreign currency derivatives to manage the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations on future cash payments primarily related to purchases of certain raw materials and finished goods. The contracts generally have maturities of less than one year . We do not qualify instruments used to manage foreign currency exchange exposures for hedge accounting treatment. Interest Rate Hedging: We utilize derivative instruments to manage changes in the fair value of our debt. Interest rate swaps mitigate the risk associated with the underlying hedged item. At the inception of the contract, the instrument is evaluated and documented for hedge accounting treatment. If the contract is designated as a cash flow hedge, the mark-to-market gains or losses on the swap are deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent effective, and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. If the contract is designated as a fair value hedge, the swap would be recognized at fair value on the balance sheet and changes in the fair value would be recognized in interest expense. Generally, changes in the fair value of the derivative are equal to changes in the fair value of the underlying debt and have no impact on earnings. In 2015, we terminated an interest rate swap on the 3.50 percent Senior Notes due October 15, 2021, which was designated as a fair value hedge and used to hedge against the changes in the fair value of the debt. As a result of the early termination, we received $58.1 in cash, which included $4.6 of accrued and prepaid interest. The gain on termination was deferred and is being recognized over the remaining life of the underlying debt as a reduction of future interest expense. To date, we have recognized $11.5 of the deferred amount, of which $1.9 was recognized during the three months ended July 31, 2016. The remaining gain will be recognized as follows: $5.7 through the remainder of 2017, $7.8 in 2018, $8.0 in 2019, $8.1 in 2020, $8.4 in 2021, and $4.0 in 2022. For additional information, see Note 8: Debt and Financing Arrangements. The following tables set forth the gross fair value amounts of derivative instruments recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. July 31, 2016 Other Current Assets Other Current Liabilities Other Noncurrent Assets Other Noncurrent Liabilities Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Commodity contracts $ 20.5 $ 22.2 $ 0.4 $ 0.8 Foreign currency exchange contracts 1.2 2.1 — — Total derivative instruments $ 21.7 $ 24.3 $ 0.4 $ 0.8 April 30, 2016 Other Current Assets Other Current Liabilities Other Noncurrent Assets Other Noncurrent Liabilities Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Commodity contracts $ 20.3 $ 14.1 $ 2.0 $ 1.2 Foreign currency exchange contracts 0.2 8.9 0.3 0.4 Total derivative instruments $ 20.5 $ 23.0 $ 2.3 $ 1.6 We have elected to not offset fair value amounts recognized for our exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments and our cash margin accounts executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. We are required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of our open positions. At July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016 , we maintained cash margin account balances of $15.8 and $3.4 , respectively, included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the cash margin account balances is included in other – net, investing activities in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. In the event of default and immediate net settlement of all of our open positions with individual counterparties, all of our derivative liabilities would be fully offset by either our derivative asset positions or margin accounts based on the net asset or liability position with our individual counterparties. During both of the three month periods ended July 31, 2016 and 2015, we recognized $0.1 in pre-tax losses related to the termination of prior interest rate swaps. Included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss at July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016 , were deferred pre-tax losses of $7.5 and $7.6 , respectively, related to the termination of these interest rate swaps. The related tax benefit recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $2.7 at both July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016 . Approximately $0.6 of the pre-tax loss will be recognized over the next 12 months. The following table presents the net gains and losses recognized in cost of products sold on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments. Three Months Ended July 31, 2016 2015 Losses on commodity contracts $ (7.8 ) $ (19.0 ) Gains on foreign currency exchange contracts 5.8 8.3 Total losses recognized in cost of products sold $ (2.0 ) $ (10.7 ) Commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative gains and losses are reported in unallocated derivative gains and losses outside of segment operating results until the related inventory is sold. At that time, we reclassify the hedge gains and losses from unallocated derivative gains and losses to segment profit, allowing our segments to realize the economic effect of the hedge without experiencing any mark-to-market volatility. The following table presents the activity in unallocated derivative gains and losses. Three Months Ended July 31, 2016 2015 Net losses on mark-to-market valuation of unallocated derivative positions $ (2.0 ) $ (10.7 ) Net losses on derivative positions reclassified to segment operating profit 9.7 0.7 Unallocated derivative gains (losses) $ 7.7 $ (10.0 ) The net cumulative unallocated derivative losses at July 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016, were $0.7 and $8.4 , respectively. As of July 31, 2016 , net realized gains of $3.0 were included in cumulative unallocated derivative losses and will be reclassified to segment operating profit when the related inventory is sold.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Other Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	Other Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements Financial instruments, other than derivatives, that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments, short-term borrowings, and trade receivables. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair value. Our other financial instruments, with the exception of long-term debt, are recognized at estimated fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table provides information on the carrying amounts and fair values of our financial instruments. July 31, 2016 April 30, 2016 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Marketable securities and other investments $ 49.1 $ 49.1 $ 48.8 $ 48.8 Derivative financial instruments – net (3.0 ) (3.0 ) (1.8 ) (1.8 ) Long-term debt (5,045.7 ) (5,374.2 ) (5,146.0 ) (5,319.9 ) Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The following tables summarize the fair values and the levels within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall for our financial instruments. Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Fair Value at July 31, 2016 Marketable securities and other investments: (A) Equity mutual funds $ 10.0 $ — $ — $ 10.0 Municipal obligations — 37.2 — 37.2 Money market funds 1.9 — — 1.9 Derivative financial instruments: (B) Commodity contracts – net 3.9 (6.0 ) — (2.1 ) Foreign currency exchange contracts – net — (0.9 ) — (0.9 ) Long-term debt (C) (4,723.5 ) (650.7 ) — (5,374.2 ) Total financial instruments measured at fair value $ (4,707.7 ) $ (620.4 ) $ — $ (5,328.1 ) Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Fair Value at April 30, 2016 Marketable securities and other investments: (A) Equity mutual funds $ 9.8 $ — $ — $ 9.8 Municipal obligations — 37.6 — 37.6 Money market funds 1.4 — — 1.4 Derivative financial instruments: (B) Commodity contracts – net 15.0 (8.0 ) — 7.0 Foreign currency exchange contracts – net (1.7 ) (7.1 ) — (8.8 ) Long-term debt (C) (4,569.0 ) (750.9 ) — (5,319.9 ) Total financial instruments measured at fair value $ (4,544.5 ) $ (728.4 ) $ — $ (5,272.9 ) (A) Marketable securities and other investments consist of funds maintained for the payment of benefits associated with nonqualified retirement plans. The funds include equity securities listed in active markets, municipal obligations valued by a third party using valuation techniques that utilize inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, and money market funds with maturities of three months or less . Based on the short-term nature of these money market funds, carrying value approximates fair value. As of July 31, 2016 , our municipal obligations are scheduled to mature as follows: $1.3 in 2017, $1.0 in 2018, $2.9 in 2019, $2.2 in 2020, and the remaining $29.8 in 2021 and beyond. (B) Level 1 commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued using quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. (C) Long-term debt is comprised of public Senior Notes classified as Level 1 and the Term Loan classified as Level 2. The public Senior Notes are traded in an active secondary market and valued using quoted prices. The value of the Term Loan is based on the net present value of each interest and principal payment calculated, utilizing an interest rate derived from an estimated yield curve obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of term loan borrowing arrangements.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . ASU 2015-17 requires all deferred tax liabilities and assets to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet in order to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. Although ASU 2015-17 is not effective for us until May 1, 2017, we elected early adoption as of April 30, 2016, and have classified all deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three-month period ended July 31, 2016 , the effective tax rate varied from the U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction, offset by state income taxes. Additionally, the effective tax rate during the three-month period ended July 31, 2015 was impacted by higher deferred state income tax expense, which was a result of state tax law changes. Within the next 12 months , it is reasonably possible that we could decrease our unrecognized tax benefits by an additional $5.0 , primarily as a result of expiring statute of limitations periods.

We are currently a defendant in a variety of such legal proceedings. We cannot predict with certainty the ultimate results of these proceedings or reasonably determine a range of potential loss. Our policy is to accrue costs for contingent liabilities when such liabilities are probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. Based on the information known to date, we do not believe the final outcome of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for us on May 1, 2018, and will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case we would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. We are currently evaluating the impact the application of ASU 2016-15 will have on our financial statements and disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for us on May 1, 2017, but we have elected to early adopt, as permitted. Effective May 1, 2016, we reclassified the excess tax benefits in historical periods on the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows from financing to operating activities. In addition, we have recorded the excess tax benefits or deficiencies within income taxes in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income on a prospective basis. The impact of adopting ASU 2016-09 on May 1, 2016, had an immaterial impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us on May 1, 2019, and will require a modified retrospective application for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented and exclude any leases that expired before the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the impact the application of ASU 2016-02 will have on our financial statements and disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . ASU 2014-09 requires either retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented or retrospective application with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Deferral of the Effective Date, which extends the standard effective date by one year . As a result of this issuance, the standard will be effective for us on May 1, 2018, with the option to early adopt at the original effective date of May 1, 2017. We have performed a preliminary review of the new guidance as compared to our current accounting policies, and a contract review is in process. Based on our findings to date, we do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. During 2017, we plan to finalize our review and determine our date of adoption.

[1]	Long-term debt is comprised of public Senior Notes classified as Level 1 and the Term Loan classified as Level 2. The public Senior Notes are traded in an active secondary market and valued using quoted prices. The value of the Term Loan is based on the net present value of each interest and principal payment calculated, utilizing an interest rate derived from an estimated yield curve obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of term loan borrowing arrangements. For additional information, see Note 8: Debt and Financing Arrangements.
[2]	Marketable securities and other investments consist of funds maintained for the payment of benefits associated with nonqualified retirement plans. The funds include equity securities listed in active markets, municipal obligations valued by a third party using valuation techniques that utilize inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, and money market funds with maturities of three months or less. Based on the short-term nature of these money market funds, carrying value approximates fair value. As of July 31, 2016, our municipal obligations are scheduled to mature as follows: $1.3 in 2017, $1.0 in 2018, $2.9 in 2019, $2.2 in 2020, and the remaining $29.8 in 2021 and beyond.
[3]	Level 1 commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued using quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 commodity and foreign currency exchange derivatives are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.
