Excludes Notes Payable and Overdrafts of $691 million and $348 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, of which $199 million and $143 million, respectively, are at fixed rates and $492 million and $205 million, respectively, are at variable rates. 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 $3,300 million and $3,808 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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.
