Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Fair Value Transfer Policy

The Company applies fair value measurements for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company does not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 29, 2017.

The fair value accounting guidance permits companies to elect fair value measurement for many financial instruments and certain other items that are not required to be accounted for at fair value. The Company did not elect fair value measurement for any eligible financial instruments or other assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

During the six months ended April 29, 2017, the Company had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of its assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
