Auction rate securities |  | $ | 22 |  |  | $ | 22 |

Recurring Fair Value Measurements. Financial investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period and the amounts for each level within the fair value hierarchy were as follows, in millions:

The fair value of the auction rate securities held by the Company have been estimated, on a recurring basis, using a discounted cash flow model (Level 3 input). The significant inputs in the discounted cash flow model used to value the auction rate securities include: expected maturity of auction rate securities, discount rate used to determine the present value of expected cash flows and the assumptions for credit defaults, since the auction rate securities are backed by credit default swap agreements. The following table summarizes the changes in Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, in millions:
|  | June 30, 2013 Auction Rate Securities |  |  | December 31, 2012 Auction Rate Securities |

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not measure any financial investments at fair value on a non-recurring basis, as there was no other-than-temporary decline in the estimated value of private equity funds. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company measured $4 million of private equity investments using level 3 inputs due to an other-than-temporary decline in the estimated value, resulting in a $2 million impairment. The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets in the three months or six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012. Realized Gains (Losses). Income (loss) from financial investments, net, included in other, net, within other income (expense), net, was as follows, in millions:

The fair value of the Company’s short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon modeled market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at June 30, 2013 was approximately $3.9 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.6 billion. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2012 was approximately $4.0 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.6 billion.
