WECC is our subsidiary and has $50.0 million of long-term notes outstanding. In a Support Agreement between WECC and us, we agreed to make sufficient liquid asset contributions to WECC to permit WECC to service its debt obligations as they become due. The following table shows the financial instruments included on our balance sheets that are not recorded at fair value as of December 31:

Long-term debt |  | $ | 1,890.0 |  |  | $ | 1,906.1 |  |  | $ | 1,887.2 |  |  | $ | 1,900.7 |
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term notes receivable, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based upon the quoted market value for the same issue, similar issues, or upon the quoted market prices of United States Treasury issues having a similar term to maturity, adjusted for our bond rating and the present value of future cash flows.
