Analyzing Debt Terms, Yields, Prices, and Credit Ratings
Reproduced below is the debt footnote from the 2011 10-K report of Dell Inc.

Aggregate future maturities of long-term debt at face value were as follows at January 28, 2011:

There is an $86 difference between the total referenced in this table and the $5,146 referenced for long-term debt in the table above. The difference arises because the maturity table reports
the face value of the debt $(5,050). The first table above reports the carrying value (net book value) of the debt. Many of the notes are not carried at par. The largest difference is the senior
debentures that have a premium of $89 (in millions).
