Excludes Notes Payable and Overdrafts of $406 million at both December 31, 2021 and 2020, of which $227 million are at fixed rates and $179 million are at variable rates for both periods. The carrying value of Notes Payable and Overdrafts approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the facilities.

Long term debt with fair values of $5,905 million and $4,391 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were estimated using quoted Level 1 market prices. The carrying value of the remaining debt was based upon internal estimates of fair value derived from market prices for similar debt.
