Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value because their maturity is less than three months. Management believes the carrying amount of the equity and cost-method investments materially approximated fair value at March 31, 2015 based upon unobservable inputs. The fair values of these investments have been determined as Level 3 fair value measurements. The fair values of the Company's line of credit and short-term and long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements and approximate carrying value. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of the Company's line of credit and long-term borrowings at March 31, 2015 approximated book value and are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described in Note 5. The carrying amount of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of the amounts and are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.  The fair value of the Company's senior subordinated convertible debentures was $1.788 billion at March 31, 2015. The fair value of the Company's junior subordinated convertible debentures was $1.124 billion at March 31, 2015. As further discussed in Note 15, in February 2015, the Company acquired certain of its junior subordinated convertible debentures with a $575.0 million aggregate principal amount for an aggregate purchase price of $1,134.6 million. The fair values of the Company's senior and junior subordinated convertible debentures are based on observable market prices for these debentures, which are traded in less active markets and are therefore classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement, and exclude the impacts of derivative activity.
