The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Short-term investments

Short-term investments primarily consist of time deposits with financial institutions that we expect to convert into cash in our current operating cycle, generally within one year. Short-term investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Available-for-sale securities

Available-for-sale securities are carried at quoted market prices.

Forward foreign exchange contracts

The estimated fair values of derivative positions in forward foreign exchange contracts are based on quotations received from third party banks and represent the net amount required to terminate the positions, taking into consideration market rates and counterparty credit risk.

Cost method investments

Cost method investments are carried at cost, which approximates or is less than fair value.

Short-term borrowings

Short-term borrowings consist of bank overdrafts and credit lines of our international subsidiaries. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, carrying value approximates fair value.

Interest rate swaps

Our interest rate swaps are fair value hedges where the fair value is derived from the present value of future cash flows using valuation models that are based on readily observable market data such as interest rates and yield curves, taking into consideration counterparty credit risk.

Debt

Our debt includes fixed rate debt and convertible debt. The fair value of these instruments is based on quoted market prices.
