Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements At December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the carrying amounts of cash, certain cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, receivables, drafts and accounts payable, short-term borrowings and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. Our long-term debt is carried at amortized cost. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these liabilities were $8.7 billion and $9.0 billion at December 31, 2015 and $9.7 billion and $10.4 billion at March 31, 2015. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was determined using quoted market prices in a less active market and other observable inputs from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Included in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 were investments in money market funds and time deposits of $1.9 billion and $4.2 billion, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of these investments was determined by using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature. Fair values of our forward foreign currency derivatives were determined using quoted market prices of similar instruments in an active market and other observable inputs from available market information. These inputs are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Refer to Financial Note 11, "Hedging Activities," for more information on our forward foreign currency derivatives. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the quarters and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
