Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements | 5. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements The accounting guidance for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis, whereby the inputs used in valuation techniques are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the three levels of inputs to measure fair value: Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in less active markets; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to measure fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. We consider an active market to be one in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis, and consider an inactive market to be one in which there are infrequent or few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers. Where appropriate, our own or the counterparty’s non-performance risk is considered in measuring the fair values of liabilities and assets, respectively. Investments The following is a summary of our investments at their cost or amortized cost as of October 25, 2024 and April 26, 2024 (in millions):
|  | October 25, 2024 |  |  | April 26, 2024 |
U.S. Treasury and government debt securities |  | $ | 744 |  |  | $ | 1,349 |
Money market funds |  |  | 707 |  |  |  | 1,161 |

Mutual funds |  |  | 43 |  |  |  | 38 |
Total debt and equity securities |  | $ | 1,508 |  |  | $ | 2,560 |
The fair value of our investments approximates their cost or amortized cost for both periods presented. Investments in mutual funds relate to the non-qualified deferred compensation plan offered to certain employees. As of October 25, 2024, all our debt investments are due to mature in one year or less. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

(1) Reported as other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (2) Reported as other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (3) Reported as accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets Our Level 2 debt instruments are held by a custodian who prices some of the investments using standard inputs in various asset price models or obtains investment prices from third-party pricing providers that incorporate standard inputs in various asset price models. These pricing providers utilize the most recent observable market information in pricing these securities or, if specific prices are not available for these securities, use other observable inputs like market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. We review Level 2 inputs and fair value for reasonableness and the values may be further validated by comparison to multiple independent pricing sources. In addition, we review third-party pricing provider models, key inputs and assumptions and understand the pricing processes at our third-party providers in determining the overall reasonableness of the fair value of our Level 2 debt instruments. As of October 25, 2024 and April 26, 2024, we have not made any adjustments to the prices obtained from our third-party pricing providers. Fair Value of Debt As of October 25, 2024 and April 26, 2024, the fair value of our long-term debt, which includes the current portion of long-term debt, was approximately $1,881 million and $2,209 million, respectively. The fair value of our long-term debt was based on observable market prices in a less active market.
