The carrying value of our restricted cash approximates its fair value. We estimate the fair value of our vacation ownership notes receivable using assumptions related to current securitization market transactions. The fair value of other notes receivable is estimated based on the terms of the instrument and current market conditions. These financial instrument assets are recorded in the other assets line item in our consolidated balance sheet.

We estimate the fair value of our publicly traded debt based on the bid prices in the public debt markets. The carrying amount of our floating rate debt is a reasonable basis of fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates. Our non-public, securitized debt and fixed rate debt fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows for the debt at rates deemed reasonable for the type of debt, prevailing market conditions and the length to maturity for the debt.

The fair values of our letters of credit and surety bonds are estimated to be the same as the contract values based on the nature of the fee arrangements with the issuing financial institutions.
