| Fair Value Measurements               | Fair Value MeasurementsA.Fair Value MeasurementsThe guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  This guidance also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques.  Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions.  In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy: •Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.•Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.•Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.When available, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value and we classify such measurements within Level 1.  In some cases where market prices are not available, we make use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.  If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves and currency rates.  These measurements are classified within Level 3.Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation.  A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.Fair value measurement includes the consideration of nonperformance risk.  Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or us) will not be fulfilled.  For financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price.  For certain other financial assets and liabilities (Level 2 and 3), our fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly. Derivative financial instrumentsThe fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is primarily based on standard industry accepted models that utilize the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and zero-coupon interest rates to determine discounted cash flows.  The fair value of foreign currency forward and cross currency contracts is based on a standard industry accepted valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate. GuaranteesThe fair value of guarantees is based on our estimate of the premium a market participant would require to issue the same guarantee in a stand-alone, arms-length transaction with an unrelated party.  If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that utilize current market-based assumptions.Assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value included in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are summarized below:(Millions of dollars)        June 30, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets/Liabilities,at Fair ValueAssets       Derivative financial instruments, net$— $97 $— $97Total Assets$— $97 $— $97Liabilities       Guarantees$— $— $1 $1Total Liabilities$— $— $1 $1         December 31, 2013 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets/Liabilities,at Fair ValueAssets         Derivative financial instruments, net$— $128 $— $128Total Assets$— $128 $— $128Liabilities       Guarantees$— $— $1 $1Total Liabilities$— $— $1 $1        Below are roll-forwards of liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.  These instruments were valued using pricing models that, in management’s judgment, reflect the assumptions of a marketplace participant.(Millions of dollars)GuaranteesBalance as of December 31, 2013$1Issuance of guarantees—Expiration of guarantees—Balance as of June 30, 2014$1  (Millions of dollars)GuaranteesBalance as of December 31, 2012$2Issuance of guarantees2Expiration of guarantees(2)Balance as of June 30, 2013$2  Impaired loansIn addition to the amounts above, our impaired loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  A loan is considered impaired when management determines that collection of contractual amounts due is not probable.  In these cases, an Allowance for credit losses may be established based primarily on the fair value of associated collateral.  As the collateral's fair value is based on observable market prices and/or current appraised values, the impaired loans are classified as Level 2 measurements.  We had impaired loans carried at the fair value of the underlying collateral value of $179 million and $81 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. B.Fair Values of Financial InstrumentsIn addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the Fair Value Measurements section above, we used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments.  Cash and cash equivalents – carrying amount approximated fair value. Finance receivables, net – fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities. Restricted cash and cash equivalents – carrying amount approximated fair value. Short-term borrowings – carrying amount approximated fair value. Long-term debt – fair value for fixed and floating-rate debt was estimated based on quoted market prices.Please refer to the table below for the fair values of our financial instruments.(Millions of dollars)June 30, 2014 December 31, 2013     CarryingAmount FairValue CarryingAmount FairValue Fair ValueLevels ReferenceCash and cash equivalents$1,192 $1,192 $1,320 $1,320 1  Foreign currency contracts:           In a receivable position$4 $4 $7 $7 2 Note 5In a payable position$(5) $(5) $(4) $(4) 2 Note 5Cross currency contracts           In a receivable position$5 $5 $9 $9 2 Note 5Finance receivables, net (excluding finance leases(1))$21,759 $21,457 $20,667 $20,469 2 Note 4Restricted cash and cash equivalents(2)$61 $61 $17 $17 1  Short-term borrowings$(5,534) $(5,534) $(3,663) $(3,663) 1  Long-term debt$(24,685) $(25,327) $(25,312) $(25,849) 2  Interest rate swaps:           In a net receivable position$101 $101 $122 $122 2 Note 5In a net payable position$(8) $(8) $(6) $(6) 2 Note 5Guarantees$(1) $(1) $(1) $(1) 3 Note 7            (1)As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, represents finance leases with a net carrying value of $8.33 billion and $8.06 billion, respectively.(2) Included in Other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. |
