At September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The carrying values of financial instruments classified as current assets and current liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings, approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments that were not measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015:



	At September 30, 2015				At March 31, 2015
(in millions)	Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Value		Estimated Fair Value
Liabilities:
Total debt ⁽¹⁾	$	1,657	$	1,746	$	1,263	$	1,376
Facility exit reserve ⁽²⁾	$	19	$	21	$	21	$	23


(1)	Estimated fair value of total debt is based on quoted prices for similar liabilities for which significant inputs are observable except for certain long-term lease obligations, for which fair value approximates carrying value (Level 2).

(2)

Estimated fair value for the facility exit reserve is determined using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015. At September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the facility exit reserve included approximately $4 million and $4 million, respectively, in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” and approximately $15 million and $17 million, respectively, in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Level 3).
