Fair Value Assets And Liabilities Measured On Recurring And Nonrecurring Basis [Abstract]

NOTE 9: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt consisted of the following:


DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS	SEPTEMBER 30, 2022		DECEMBER 31, 2021
Long-term fixed rate debt (including current maturities):
Carrying value	$	5,053	$	5,099
Fair value (level 2)	$	4,846	$	6,221

To estimate the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt, we used the market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt. We believe that our line of credit has a net carrying value that approximates its fair value within an insignificant difference. The inputs to the valuations of our long-term debt are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables and payables, have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the allowance for doubtful accounts.
