The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturities of those instruments. The fair value of trading securities is based on quoted market prices. The fair values of the interest rate swap and long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's assumed incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
