Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
At September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the carrying amounts of cash, certain cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, receivables, drafts and accounts payable, short-term borrowings and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.
The fair value of our commercial paper was determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities, which are considered Level 1 inputs.
Our long-term debt is carried at amortized cost. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these liabilities were $7.6 billion and $8.3 billion at September 30, 2019, and $7.6 billion and $7.9 billion at March 31, 2019. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was determined using quoted market prices in a less active market and other observable inputs from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 included investments in money market funds of $199 million and $1,205 million, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of money market funds was determined by using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature.
Fair values of our foreign currency forward contracts were determined using observable inputs from available market information. Fair values of our cross-currency swaps were determined using quoted foreign currency exchange rates and other observable inputs from available market information. These inputs are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Refer to Financial Note 13, “Hedging Activities,” for fair value and other information on our foreign currency derivatives including foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps.
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the second quarters and first six months of 2020 and 2019.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
At September 30, 2019, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis consisted of our investment in Change Healthcare JV. Since the completion of its IPO in July 2019, the fair value from the trading prices of Change Healthcare Inc.’s public common stock has been below the corresponding carrying value of our investment in Change Healthcare JV, triggering an OTTI evaluation. As a result, for the second quarter of 2020, we concluded an OTTI has occurred and recorded a pre-tax impairment charge of $1,157 million ($864 million after-tax) associated with our investment in Change Healthcare JV which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. Refer to Financial Note 2, “Investment in Change Healthcare Joint Venture,” for more information.
At March 31, 2019, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis primarily consisted of goodwill and long-lived assets for our European Pharmaceutical Solutions segment.
Goodwill
Fair value assessments of the reporting unit and the reporting unit's net assets, which are performed for goodwill impairment tests, are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. We considered a market approach as well as an income approach using the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to determine the fair value of the reporting unit.
Long-lived Assets

We utilize multiple approaches including the DCF model and market approaches for estimating the fair value of intangible assets. The future cash flows used in the analysis are based on internal cash flow projections based on our long-range plans and include significant assumptions by management. Accordingly, the fair value assessment of the long-lived assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement.
We measure certain intangible and other long-lived assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. An impairment charge is recorded when the cost of the asset exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be other-than-temporary.
There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019.
