The methodologies used to estimate fair value are as follows:
ComponentsMethodology used to estimate fair value
Debt securities classified as available-for-saleQuoted market prices for identical instruments
Foreign exchange forward contracts, currency options and collarsQuoted market prices for similar instruments
Equity securities measured at fair value through earningsQuoted market prices for identical instruments
Equity securities carried at cost as a measurement alternativeValuation of the underlying investments on a new round of third-party financing or upon liquidation
Long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt
