Fair Value Measurements

9 Months Ended

Jun. 03, 2021

The estimated fair values and carrying values of our outstanding debt instruments (excluding the carrying value of equity components of our convertible notes) were as follows:


	June 3, 2021				September 3, 2020
As of	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value

Notes	$	6,545	$	5,965	$	6,710	$	6,026
Convertible notes	1,097		152		634		131

The fair values of our convertible notes were determined based on Level 2 inputs, including the trading price of our convertible notes when available, our stock price, and interest rates based on similar debt issued by parties with credit ratings similar to ours. The fair values of our other debt instruments were estimated based on Level 2 inputs, including discounted cash flows, the trading price of our notes when available, and interest rates based on similar debt issued by parties with credit ratings similar to ours.

Assets classified as held for sale are carried at the lower of fair value less cost to sell or carrying value. Significant judgments and assumptions are required to estimate their fair values. Actual selling prices could vary significantly from our estimated fair value and we could recognize additional losses in the event that the sales prices of assets classified as held for sale are lower than their carrying values.
