FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair Value of Financial Instruments on a Recurring Basis As of December 31, 2019, the total cost basis for marketable securities was $1.3 billion. There were no significant differences between the cost basis and fair value of any individual class of marketable securities. Fair values of financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet (in millions):

The Company uses the market and income approach to determine the fair value of marketable securities. U.S. government securities and equity mutual funds are Level 1 as the fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets. The remaining marketable securities instruments are Level 2 as the fair value is based on standard valuation models that calculate values from observable inputs such as quoted interest rates, yield curves, credit ratings of the security and other observable market information. The Company uses the market and income approaches to determine the fair value of derivative instruments. The fair value for fuel hedge call options is determined utilizing an option pricing model that uses inputs that are readily available in active markets or can be derived from information available in active markets. In addition, the fair value considers exposure to credit losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements are Level 2 as the fair value of these contracts is determined based on the difference between the fixed interest rate in the agreements and the observable LIBOR-based interest forward rates at period end, multiplied by the total notional value. Activity and Maturities for Marketable Securities Unrealized losses from marketable securities are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. Management does not believe any remaining losses represent other-than-temporary impairments based on the Company's evaluation of available evidence as of December 31, 2019. Proceeds from sales of marketable securities were $1.7 billion, $1.1 billion and $1.4 billion in 2019, 2018, and 2017. Maturities for marketable securities (in millions):
December 31, 2019 | Cost Basis |  | Fair Value
Due in one year or less | $ | 164 |  |  | $ | 165 |
Due after one year through five years | 1,102 |  |  | 1,114 |
Due after five years through 10 years | 16 |  |  | 16 |
Total | $ | 1,282 |  |  | $ | 1,295 |
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The Company used the following methods and assumptions to determine the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Carried at amortized costs which approximate fair value. Debt: Debt assumed in the acquisition of Virgin America was subject to a non-recurring fair valuation adjustment as part of purchase price accounting. The adjustment is amortized over the life of the associated debt. All other fixed-rate debt is carried at cost. To estimate the fair value of all fixed-rate debt as of December 31, 2019, the Company uses the income approach by discounting cash flows using borrowing rates for comparable debt over the weighted life of the outstanding debt. The estimated fair value of the fixed-rate debt is Level 3 as certain inputs used are unobservable. Fixed-rate debt on the consolidated balance sheet and the estimated fair value of long-term fixed-rate debt (in millions):
| December 31, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
Fixed rate debt at cost | $ | 473 |  |  | $ | 639 |
Non-recurring purchase price accounting fair value adjustment | 2 |  |  | 3 |
Total fixed rate debt | $ | 475 |  |  | $ | 642 |
Estimated fair value | $ | 483 |  |  | $ | 641 |
