Equity [Abstract] |
Equity | Equity Micron Shareholders' Equity Treasury Stock: As of December 1, 2016, we held 54 million shares of treasury stock. All 54 million shares of treasury stock were included as part of the sale of the Micron Shares to Nanya subsequent to the end of our first quarter of 2017. Outstanding Capped Calls: Our capped calls are intended to reduce the effect of potential dilution from our convertible notes and provide for our receipt of cash or shares, at our election, from our counterparties if the trading price of our stock is above strike prices on the expiration dates. As of December 1, 2016, the dollar value of cash or shares that we would receive from our outstanding capped calls upon their expiration dates range from $0, if the trading price of our stock was below strike prices for all capped calls, to $719 million, if the trading price of our stock was at or above the cap prices for all capped calls. Expiration of Capped Calls: A portion of our 2032C and 2032D Capped Calls expired in the first quarter of 2017. We elected share settlement and in the second quarter of 2017 received 4 million shares of our stock, equal to a value of $67 million, based on the volume-weighted trading stock prices at the expiration dates. The shares received were recorded as treasury stock. Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss): Changes in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) by component for the quarter ended December 1, 2016 were as follows:

IMFT: Since IMFT's inception in 2006, we have owned 51% of IMFT, a joint venture between us and Intel that manufactures NAND Flash and 3D XPoint memory products exclusively for the members. The members share the output of IMFT generally in proportion to their investment. IMFT is governed by a Board of Managers, for which the number of managers appointed by each member varies based on the members' respective ownership interests. The IMFT joint venture agreement extends through 2024 and includes certain buy-sell rights. Through December 2018, Intel can put to us, and from January 2019 through December 2021, we can call from Intel, Intel's interest in IMFT, in either case, for an amount equal to the noncontrolling interest balance attributable to Intel at such time either member exercises its right. If Intel exercises its put right, we can elect to set the closing date of the transaction to be any time within two years following such election by Intel and can elect to receive financing of the purchase price from Intel for one to two years from the closing date. Creditors of IMFT have recourse only to IMFT's assets and do not have recourse to any other of our assets. In the first quarter of 2016, we and Intel contributed $38 million and $37 million, respectively, to IMFT. IMFT manufactures memory products using designs and technology we develop with Intel. We generally share with Intel the costs of product design and process development activities for NAND Flash and 3D XPoint memory at IMFT and our other facilities. Our R&D expenses were reduced by reimbursements from Intel of $56 million and $46 million for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our sales include Non-Trade Non-Volatile Memory, which primarily consists of products sold to Intel through our IMFT joint venture at long-term negotiated prices approximating cost. Non-Trade Non-Volatile Memory sales to Intel were $123 million and $126 million for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The following table presents the assets and liabilities of IMFT included in our consolidated balance sheets:
As of |  | December 1, 2016 |  | September 1, 2016

Cash and equivalents |  | $ | 77 |  |  | $ | 98 |

Amounts exclude intercompany balances that were eliminated in our consolidated balance sheets. Restrictions on Net Assets As a result of the corporate reorganization proceedings the MMJ Companies initiated in March 2012, and for so long as such proceedings continue, the MMJ Group is subject to certain restrictions on dividends, loans, and advances. In addition, our ability to access IMFT's cash and other assets through dividends, loans, or advances, including to finance our other operations, is subject to agreement by Intel. As a result, our total restricted net assets (net assets less intercompany balances and noncontrolling interests) as of December 1, 2016 were $3.13 billion for the MMJ Group and $895 million for IMFT, which included cash and equivalents of $684 million for the MMJ Group and $77 million for IMFT. As of December 1, 2016, our retained earnings included undistributed earnings from our equity method investees of $290 million.
