FAIR VALUE

The carrying amounts for many of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, short-term borrowings and certain other liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Our foreign exchange forward contracts and long-term investments are measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our total debt is carried at cost and was $484.1 and $487.0 as of November 22, 2019 and February 22, 2019, respectively. The fair value of our total debt is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of instruments and was approximately $540 and $492 as of November 22, 2019 and February 22, 2019, respectively. The estimation of the fair value of our total debt is based on Level 2 fair value measurements.

We periodically use derivative financial instruments to manage exposures to movements in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intention to reduce our risk of short-term volatility. We do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of November 22, 2019 and February 22, 2019 are summarized below:
