pre_text: 14. Fair Value Measures The Company is required to categorize both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy. The fair value of an asset is the price at which the asset could be sold in an orderly transaction between unrelated, knowledgeable, and willing parties able to engage in the transaction. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor in a transaction between such parties, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. • Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. • Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The disclosure of fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at cost are as follows: Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable: The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Long-term debt: The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt is at its stated value. We have not elected to carry our long-term debt at fair value. Fair values for debt are based on quoted market prices or published forward interest rate curves, which are level 2 inputs. Estimated fair values are management’s estimates, which is a level 3 input; however, when there is no readily available market data, the estimated fair values may not represent the amounts that could be realized in a current transaction, and the fair values could change significantly. The fair value of the Company’s debt is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Under its current policies, the Company does not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. A one percent (1%) decrease in interest rates would increase the net fair value of the Company’s debt by $23,000 at June 1, 2019. The fair value and carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt were as follows (in thousands):
table: June 1, 2019 June 2, 2018
table: Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value
table: Note payable $1,283 $1,309 $4,750 $4,732
table: Long-term leases 1,054 940 1,340 1,171
table: $2,337 $2,249 $6,090 $5,903
question: Analyse this data from a financial earnings document. What is the percentage increase / (decrease) in the carrying value of Note payable?
