Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. Notes receivable are entered into in connection with the purchase of independent distributors’ distribution rights by independent distributors. These notes receivable are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value, which represents the closest approximation of fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As a result, the appropriate interest rate that should be used to estimate the fair value of the distribution rights notes is the prevailing market rate at which similar loans would be made to independent distributors with similar credit ratings and for the same maturities. However, the company finances approximately 3,600 independent distributors all with varied financial histories and credit risks. Considering the diversity of credit risks among the independent distributors, the company has no method to accurately determine a market interest rate to apply to the notes. The distribution rights are generally financed for up to ten years and the distribution rights notes are collateralized by the independent distributors’ distribution rights. The company maintains a wholly-owned subsidiary to assist in financing the distribution rights purchase activities if requested by new independent distributors, using the distribution rights and certain associated assets as collateral. These notes receivable earn interest at a fixed rate. Interest income for the distributor notes receivable was as follows (amounts in thousands):
|  | Interest Income |
For the sixteen weeks ended April 22, 2017 |  | $ | 6,577 |
For the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2016 |  | $ | 6,290 |
At April 22, 2017, December 31, 2016, and April 23, 2016 respectively, the carrying value of the distributor notes was as follows (amounts in thousands):
|  | April 22, 2017 |  |  | December 31, 2016 |  |  | April 23, 2016 |
Distributor notes receivable |  | $ | 181,037 |  |  | $ | 175,984 |  |  | $ | 167,838 |
Current portion of distributor notes receivable recorded in accounts and notes receivable, net |  |  | 21,569 |  |  |  | 21,060 |  |  |  | 20,397 |
Long-term portion of distributor notes receivable |  | $ | 159,468 |  |  | $ | 154,924 |  |  | $ | 147,441 |
At April 22, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, the company has evaluated the collectability of the distributor notes and determined that a reserve is not necessary. Payments on these distributor notes are collected by the company weekly in conjunction with the distributor settlement process. The fair value of the company’s variable rate debt at April 22, 2017 approximates the recorded value. The fair value of the company’s 3.5% senior notes due 2026 (“2026 notes”) and 4.375% senior notes due 2022 (“2022 notes”), as discussed in Note 9, Debt and Other Obligations, are estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements and are considered a Level 2 valuation. The fair value of the senior notes are presented in the table below (amounts in thousands, except level classification):
|  | Carrying Value |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Level
2026 notes |  | $ | 394,583 |  |  | $ | 394,360 |  |  | 2
2022 notes |  | $ | 397,606 |  |  | $ | 432,648 |  |  | 2
