Fair Value Measurements |
Note M — Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants. In determining fair value, the accounting standards distinguish between (i)Ìýmarket data obtained or developed from independent sources (i.e., observable data inputs) and (ii)Ìýa reporting entity's own data and assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (i.e., unobservable data inputs). Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in a three level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs, as follows:
Éù |
Ìý |
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Éù |
Ìý |
Level 2 — Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i)Ìýquoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii)Ìýquoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii)Ìýinformation derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
Éù |
Ìý |
Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. Inputs would normally be a reporting entity's own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The fair value measurement level for an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following table summarizes the classes of financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

At JuneÌý2011 and DecemberÌý2010, the carrying values of ÂÒÂ×°ÍÊ¿'s cash held as demand deposits, accounts receivable, life insurance contracts, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair values. At JuneÌý2011 and December 2010, the carrying value of ÂÒÂ×°ÍÊ¿'s long-term debt, including the current portion, was $937.3Ìýmillion and $938.6Ìýmillion, respectively, compared with fair value of $1,037.8Ìýmillion and $1,025.1Ìýmillion at those dates. Fair value for long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices or values of comparable borrowings.
