FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES NOT RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE

Long-term debt is recorded at adjusted cost, net of unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs. The fair value of Long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted prices for similar instruments or quoted prices for identical instruments in inactive markets (Level 2). The fair value of the Company’s Long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $3,756 million at November 30, 2019 and $3,524 million at May 31, 2019.
