Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring Plans lan
In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we announced a Cost Plan designed to align our cost structure to our long-term margin targets. As part of this plan, we initiated a series of targeted actions across our businesses with the objective to reduce annual costs by $1 billion, excluding incremental costs resulting from any future acquisition of a business. Actions taken under this plan have been completed and resulted in us achieving substantially all of this target in fiscal 2019 based on our run rate exiting the second quarter of fiscal 2019, excluding litigation costs that were in excess of the baseline spend.
Total restructuring and restructuring-related charges related to the Cost Plan were as follows (in millions):

(1)
During fiscal 2018, we recorded restructuring and restructuring-related charges of $629 million in other expenses and charges of $58 million in investment and other income, net.
(2)
Restructuring-related charges primarily related to asset impairment charges in fiscal 2019 and 2018 and also included a $52 million net gain in fiscal 2019 from the sale of certain assets related to wireless electric vehicle charging applications and the sale of our mobile health nonreportable segment, as well as a $41 million gain in fiscal 2018 resulting from fair value adjustments of certain
contingent consideration related to a business combination.
(3)
Restructuring charges primarily consisted of severance and consulting costs in fiscal 2019 and 2018, which were payable in cash.
The restructuring accrual, a portion of which was included in payroll and other benefits related liabilities with the remainder included in other current liabilities, is expected to be substantially paid within the next 12 months. At September 29, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the restructuring accrual was $17 million and $83 million, respectively.
