Fair Value Disclosures

As of March 31, 2017 the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short -term borrowings and accounts payable approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The fair value of notes receivable net of allowances and lease guarantees less subsequent amortization approximates their carrying value. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt obligations:



	3/31/2017				12/31/2016
	Carrying Value		Fair Value (Level 2)		Carrying Value		Fair Value (Level 2)

Securitization Notes^(a)	$	2,288	$	2,322	$	2,294	$	2,315
Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes^(b)	2,100		2,175		2,100		2,175
Term Loan A Facility^(b)	500		505		500		501
Term Loan B Facility^(b)	1,990		2,004		1,990		2,016
YUM Senior Unsecured Notes^(b)	2,200		2,245		2,200		2,216


(a)	We estimated the fair value of the Securitization Notes by obtaining broker quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s Securitization Notes and, at times, trade these notes. The markets in which the Securitization Notes trade are not considered active markets.


(b)	We estimated the fair value of the YUM and Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes, Term Loan A Facility, and Term Loan B Facility using market quotes and calculations based on market rates.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges and other investments, all of which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (See Note 12 for discussion regarding derivative instruments). The following table presents fair values for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall. No transfers among the levels within the fair value hierarchy occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2017.



		Fair Value
	Level	3/31/2017		12/31/2016		Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet
Interest Rate Swaps - Liability	2	$	—	$	3	Accounts payable and other current liabilities
Interest Rate Swaps - Asset	2	1		—		Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Interest Rate Swaps - Asset	2	43		47		Other assets
Foreign Currency Contracts - Asset	2	4		6		Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Foreign Currency Contracts - Asset	2	9		10		Other assets
Other Investments	1	25		24		Other assets

The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps were determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including nonperformance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the duration based upon observable inputs. The other investments include investments in mutual funds, which are used to offset fluctuations in deferred compensation liabilities that employees have chosen to invest in phantom shares of a stock index fund or bond index fund. The other investments' fair value is determined based on the closing market prices of the respective mutual funds as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
