Fair Value Measurements

   SFAS N0. 157, September 2006
   "Fair Value Measurements"

   Fair Value is
   the price an entity would receive when an asset is sold
   or
   the price an entity would pay when a liability is transferred.

   Such transaction should be 
   an orderly transaction
   between market participants 
   at the measurement date.

Valuation Techniques

   Three approaches
      
      1. Market approach
          --> based on information from market transactions
 
      2. Income approach
          --> based on future income
          --> e.g., present value techniques
 
      3. Cost approach
          --> based on current replacement cost

Inputs to Valuation Techniques

   Three levels of inputs: Fair Value Hierarchy
 
      1. Level 1 inputs
          --> unadjusted quoted prices
                in active markets
                for identical assets or liabilities

      2. Level 2 inputs
          --> quoted prices
                for similar assets or liabilities
                in active markets
          --> quoted prices
                for identical or similar assets or liabilities
                in markets that are not active

      3. Level 3 inputs
          --> unobservable inputs
                for the asset or liability
