_____________________________ (1)Represents the carrying values of the asset groups at the dates of measurement, before fair value adjustment. (2)See Note 18—Held-for-Sale and Dispositions for further information. (3)The pre-tax loss recognized was calculated using the $1,352 million fair value of the AES Brasil disposal group less costs to sell of $13 million. For purposes of the impairment analysis, the Company used the carrying value of the disposal group as of April 30, 2024. A subsequent impairment analysis was performed as of June 30, 2024 and no additional impairment was identified. (4)The pre-tax loss recognized was calculated using the $389 million fair value of the Mong Duong disposal group less costs to sell of $5 million. (5)The Norgener asset group includes long-lived assets, inventory, land, and other working capital, however per ASC 360-10, the pre-tax impairment expense is limited to the carrying amount of the long-lived assets. See Note 16—Asset Impairment Expense for further information. The Company evaluated the carrying amount of the assets outside the scope of ASC 360-10 and determined that the carrying value of the other assets should not be reduced. (6)The pre-tax loss recognized was calculated using the $170 million fair value of the Jordan disposal group less costs to sell of $5 million and $6 million for the March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 measurement dates, respectively. The following table summarizes the significant unobservable inputs used in the Level 3 measurement of long-lived assets held and used measured on a nonrecurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2023 (in millions, except range amounts):
