Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE | NOTE 13. FAIR VALUE The Company has established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. These levels are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for definitions of the three levels within the hierarchy. The following tables summarize information regarding the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

_________________ (1) Investment deposit accounts are short-term in nature, and the value is determined by principal plus interest. The investment portfolio mix can change each period based on the Company's assessment of investment options. (2) Derivative assets and liabilities classified as Level 1 are commodity futures contracts valued based on quoted market prices in the London Metal Exchange or the New York Mercantile Exchange. Amounts in Level 2 are based on broker quotes in the over-the-counter market. Derivative liabilities classified as Level 3, and the methodology used to determine their fair value, are described below. Further discussion regarding the Company's use of derivative instruments is included in Note 12, Derivatives. The fair value estimate of the Level 3 commodity derivative is based on an internally developed discounted cash flow model primarily utilizing unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data. The Company forecasts future energy rates using a range of historical prices ("floating rate"). The floating rate is the only significant unobservable input used in the Company's discounted cash flow model.

Unobservable Inputs |  | Low |  | High |  | Average
Floating rate (PLN) |  | 151.66 |  |  | 243.88 |  |  | 200.70 |
Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 commodity derivative recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fluctuation in energy rates over time may cause volatility in the fair value estimate and is the primary reason for the unrealized loss in other comprehensive income ("OCI") in 2020.

__________________________________ (1) Gains (losses) recognized in earnings are included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of earnings. As the derivative will not begin to settle until 2021, no gains or losses were recorded in earnings in 2020. (2) Gains (losses) recognized in OCI are included in the unrealized holding gain (loss) on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Other than adjustments made to the preliminary fair value allocated to the Acquired Businesses' assets and liabilities made in the allowable one-year measurement period from November 5, 2018 to November 4, 2019, there were no other material non-recurring fair value remeasurements in 2020, 2019 and 2018. The carrying values of the Company's short-term items, including documentary letters of credit and notes payable, approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are not required to be measured at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:
