Note 18 — Fair Values of Financial Instruments


The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheets at amounts other than fair values.


Cash and Cash Equivalents and Time Deposits


Fair values of cash and cash equivalents and time deposits approximate cost due to the short period of time to maturity.


Notes Payable and Long-term Debt


The Company believes the carrying value of short-term debt, including current portion of long-term debt, and long-term debt adequately reflects the fair value of these instruments.
