Fair Value Measurements
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
At December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, receivables, drafts and accounts payable and other current liabilities generally approximated their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.
Our long-term debt and other financing are carried at amortized cost. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of these liabilities were $4.9 billion and $5.1 billion at December 31, 2013 and $4.9 billion and $5.5 billion at March 31, 2013. The estimated fair values of our long-term debt and other financing were 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.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013 included investments in money market funds, time deposits and repurchase agreements of $2.0 billion and $1.6 billion, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of these investments 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 derivatives were determined using quoted market prices of similar instruments in an active market 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. The fair value of these derivative contracts, which are subject to a master netting arrangement under certain circumstances, is presented on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Fair values for our foreign currency hedges were not material at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013.
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the quarters and nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
During the third quarter of 2014, we recorded an $80 million non-cash pre-tax and after-tax impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of our International Technology business to its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. The impairment charge was primarily the result of the terms of the preliminary purchase offers received for this business during the third quarter of 2014. Accordingly, the fair value measurement is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
