Fair Value, Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Measured on Recurring Basis [Abstract]

The following table shows the Company's financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards:



	May 3, 2014								May 4, 2013
			Fair Value Measurements								Fair Value Measurements
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
	(millions)
Marketable equity and debt securities	$	91	$	—	$	91	$	—	$	64	$	—	$	64	$	—

Other financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term debt, merchandise accounts payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and long-term debt. With the exception of long-term debt, the carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair values of long-term debt, excluding capitalized leases, are generally estimated based on quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments, and are classified as Level 2 measurements within the hierarchy as defined by applicable accounting standards.

The following table shows the estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt:



	May 3, 2014						May 4, 2013
	Notional Amount		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Notional Amount		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(millions)
Long-term debt	$	6,973	$	7,145	$	7,797	$	6,578	$	6,765	$	7,536

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments. The Company places its temporary cash investments in what it believes to be high credit quality financial instruments.
