8. Fair Value Measurements

Our financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value, using a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.

Long-Term Debt

The fair value of long-term debt is determined by using model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value drivers are observable in active markets and, therefore, are classified as Level 2. The carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt were as follows:

($ in millions)	April 29, 2023		April 30, 2022
Carrying value (1)	$	395	$	394
Fair value	$	339	$	332

⁽¹⁾ The carrying value of debt as of April 29, 2023 and April 30, 2022 included $5 million and $6 million of issuer’s discount and costs, respectively.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, and other current receivables and payables approximate their fair value.
