Fair values
The estimated fair value of finance debt is shown in the table below together with the carrying amount as reflected in the balance sheet.
Long-term borrowings in the table below include the portion of debt that matures in the year from 31 December 2008, whereas in the balance
sheet the amount would be reported within current liabilities.
The carrying amount of the group’s short-term borrowings, comprising mainly commercial paper, bank loans, overdrafts and US Industrial
Revenue/Municipal Bonds, approximates their fair value. The fair value of the group’s long-term borrowings and finance lease obligations is estimated
using quoted prices or, where these are not available, discounted cash flow analyses based on the group’s current incremental borrowing rates for
similar types and maturities of borrowing.
