LONG-TERM DEBT
 
During 2017, we issued $7.29 billion of medium-term notes, of which $4.89 billion were at fixed interest rates and $2.40 billion were at floating interest rates, primarily indexed to LIBOR.  At December 31, 2017, the outstanding medium-term notes had remaining maturities ranging up to 9 years. Debt issuance costs are capitalized and amortized to Interest expense using the straight-line method over the term of the debt issuance. The balance of our medium-term notes contains unamortized fair value adjustments for debt in a fair value hedge relationship.

Long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, was comprised of the following:
