Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements U.S. GAAP establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The determination of the applicable level within the hierarchy of a particular asset or liability depends on the inputs used in its valuation as of the measurement date, notably the extent to which the inputs are market-based (observable) or internally-derived (unobservable). A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
• | Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
• | Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
• | Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology based on unobservable prices or valuation techniques that are significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table summarizes the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

Financial assets recorded at fair value(a): |  |  |  |
Government bonds — U.S. |  | $ | 1 |  |  | $ | 29 |
Government bonds — non-U.S. |  | — |  |  | 92 |
Corporate bonds — non-U.S. |  | — |  |  | 82 |
Variable rate municipal securities — U.S. |  | — |  |  | 17 |
Auction rate securities |  | 2 |  |  | 2 |
Derivative financial instruments |  | 8 |  |  | 15 |

Financial liabilities recorded at fair value(b): |  |  |  |
Derivative financial instruments |  | $ | 7 |  |  | $ | 5 |

(b) | Based on Level 2 measurements.
To the extent the Company invests in government bonds, corporate bonds, or variable rate municipal securities, such investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets based upon quoted prices in active markets. The Company's auction rate securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are recorded at fair value in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Third-party pricing institutions may value auction rate securities at par, which may not necessarily reflect prices that would be obtained if sold in the current market. When quoted market prices are unobservable, fair value is estimated based on a number of known factors and external pricing data, including known maturity dates, the coupon rate based upon the most recent reset market clearing rate, the price/yield representing the average rate of recent successfully traded securities, and the total principal balance of each security. The Company's derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and are valued using a pricing model, which is primarily based on market observable external inputs, including forward and spot exchange rates for foreign currencies, and considers the impact of the Company's own credit risk, if any. Changes in counterparty credit risk are also considered in the valuation of derivative financial instruments. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and time deposits are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value based on Level 1 measurements. The Company's debt obligations are recorded at carrying value in its consolidated balance sheets, which may differ from their fair values. The carrying value of the Senior Notes is adjusted for any unamortized discount, which is not material. The carrying value of the Euro Debt, which was repaid upon its maturity in October 2013, was adjusted for any foreign currency fluctuations, any unamortized discount, and the unamortized fair value adjustment associated with the early termination of an interest rate swap that was designated as a fair value hedge. The fair values of the Company's debt obligations are estimated based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of these debt instruments, and of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates, credit ratings, and trading frequency, among other factors. The following table summarizes the carrying values and the estimated fair values of the Company's debt obligations:
|  | March 29, 2014 |  | March 30, 2013
|  | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value(a) |  | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value(a)
|  | (millions)
2.125% Senior Notes |  | $ | 300 |  |  | $ | 300 |  |  | N/A |  |  | N/A |
Euro Debt |  | N/A |  |  | N/A |  |  | $ | 267 |  |  | $ | 272 |
(a) | Based on Level 2 measurements.
Unrealized gains or losses on the Company's debt do not result in the realization or expenditure of cash, unless the debt is retired prior to its maturity. Non-financial Assets and Liabilities The Company's non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, other intangible assets, and property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, on a periodic basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets), non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written-down to and recorded at fair value, considering external market participant assumptions. During Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013, and Fiscal 2012, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges to reduce the carrying values of certain long-lived store assets to their fair values. The fair values of these assets were determined based on Level 3 measurements. Inputs to these fair value measurements included estimates of the amount and timing of the stores' net future discounted cash flows based on historical experience, current trends, and market conditions. The following table summarizes the impairment charges recorded during Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013, and Fiscal 2012:
|  | Fiscal Years Ended
|  | March 29, 2014 |  | March 30, 2013 |  | March 31, 2012
|  | (millions)
Aggregate carrying value of long-lived assets written down to fair value |  | $ | 1 |  |  | $ | 19 |  |  | $ | 3 |
Impairment charges(a) |  | (1 | ) |  | (19 | ) |  | (2 | )
(a) | See Note 11 for details of impairment charges recorded in Fiscal 2014, Fiscal 2013, and Fiscal 2012.
No goodwill impairment charges were recorded during any of the fiscal years presented. In Fiscal 2014, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment using a qualitative approach as of the beginning of the second quarter of the fiscal year. In performing the assessment, the Company identified and considered the significance of relevant key factors, events, and circumstances that affected the fair values and/or carrying amounts of its reporting units. These factors included external factors such as macroeconomic, industry, and market conditions, as well as entity-specific factors, such as the Company's actual and planned financial performance. Additionally, the results of the Company's most recent quantitative goodwill impairment test were also considered, which indicated that the fair values of its reporting units significantly exceeded their respective carrying values. Based on the results of its qualitative goodwill impairment assessment, the Company concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair values of its reporting units are less than their respective carrying values, and there were no reporting units at risk of impairment.
