Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and estimated fair values for certain of our financial instruments at December 31, 2011 and 2010. For the other financial instruments, representing cash, accounts receivables, long-term debt due within one year, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the relatively short maturities of those instruments. Other equity method investments, for which market values are not readily available, are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
($ in thousands) | 2011 | | 2010 | | Carrying | | | | Carrying | | | | Amount | | Fair Value | | Amount | | Fair Value | Long-term debt | $ 8,205,841 | | $ 7,958,873 | | $ 7,983,614 | | $ 8,376,515 |
