Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	6. Fair Value Measurements The Company utilizes the three-level valuation hierarchy as described in Note 5, Lease Termination and Impairment Charges, for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. As of November 30, 2019 and March 2, 2019, the Company did not have any financial assets measured on a recurring basis. Other Financial Instruments Financial instruments other than long-term indebtedness include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. These instruments are recorded at book value, which we believe approximate their fair values due to their short term nature. In addition, as of November 30, 2019, the Company has $7,039 of investments carried at amortized cost as these investments are being held to maturity, which are included as a component of other assets. As of March 2, 2019, the Company has $7,191 of investments carried at amortized cost as these investments are being held to maturity, which are included as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets. The Company believes the carrying value of these investments approximates their fair value. The fair value for LIBOR-based borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility is estimated based on the quoted market price of the financial instrument which is considered Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of substantially all of the Company’s other long-term indebtedness are estimated based on quoted market prices of the financial instruments which are considered Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s total long-term indebtedness was $3,566,261 and $3,204,496, respectively, as of November 30, 2019. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's total long-term indebtedness was $3,454,585 and $3,120,335, respectively, as of March 2, 2019. On March 15, 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate cap (“Cap”), which has been designated to the variable interest rate payments on the first $650.0 million notional amount of variable rate indebtedness. The Cap has an effective date of March 21, 2019 and expires on March 21, 2021. The Cap provides the Company with interest rate protection in the event that LIBOR increases above 2.75%. The nominal fair market value of the Cap is recorded as a component of other assets.
