The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values in the tables above. Level 1 Fair Value Measurements Cash equivalents — Amounts consist primarily of U.S. and Canadian treasury securities and money market investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value. Level 2 Fair Value Measurements Cash equivalents — Amounts consist primarily of Canadian agency and provincial securities and commercial paper investments. The fair value approximates the carrying value. Commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives — The fair values of commodity, interest rate and foreign currency derivatives are estimated using internal discounted cash flow calculations based upon forward curves and data obtained from independent third parties for contracts with similar terms or data obtained from counterparties to the agreements. Debt — Devon's debt instruments do not actively trade in an established market. The fair values of its debt are estimated based on rates available for debt with similar terms and maturity. The fair value of Devon’s commercial paper and credit facility are the carrying values. Capital lease obligations — The fair value was calculated using inputs from third-party banks. Level 3 Fair Value Measurements Long-term investments — Devon’s long-term investments as of December 31, 2013 consisted entirely of auction rate securities. In the first quarter of 2014, Devon redeemed all these securities for approximately $57 million, or $5 million below their carrying value.
