Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Investments and Fair Value Measurements | Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis We account for fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measurement and expands disclosure about fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at November 26, 2016 and August 27, 2016 according to the valuation techniques we used to determine their fair values:

(1) | Cash equivalent balances valued using Level 1 inputs include only those accounts that may fluctuate in value. Cash in disbursing accounts and on-demand accounts are not included above.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: Cash Equivalents The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value as original maturities are less than three months. Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds traded in an active market with no restrictions and are included in cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Assets that Fund Deferred Compensation Our assets that fund deferred compensation are marketable equity securities measured at fair value using quoted market prices and primarily consist of equity-based mutual funds. The majority of securities are classified as Level 1 as they are traded in an active market for which closing stock prices are readily available. These securities fund the Executive Share Option Plan and the Executive deferred compensation plan (see Note 10). The proportion of the assets that will fund options which expire within a year are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The remaining assets are classified as noncurrent and are included in other assets. Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Our non-financial assets, which include goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, we must evaluate the non-financial asset for impairment. If an impairment did occur, the asset is required to be recorded at the estimated fair value. During the first three months of Fiscal 2017, no impairments were recorded for non-financial assets. The carrying value of our debt as of November 26, 2016 approximates fair value as interest is at variable market rates.
