Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is measured based on an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on a market valuation approach using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tiered fair value hierarchy is established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable, either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The following table summarizes the valuation of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:
|  |  |  |  |  | Fair Value

(1)Short-term investments are primarily comprised of money market funds and highly liquid, low risk investments with initial maturities less than 90 days. (2)Change in level 2 short-term investments is primarily driven by the deconsolidation of Whirlpool China. For additional information, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Elica PB India Acquisition As of September 30, 2021, the Company consolidates Elica PB India. As a result, the previously held equity interest of 49% was remeasured at a fair value of $74 million (Level 2 input) on the acquisition date, resulting in an implied fair value of approximately $150 million. For additional information, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Whirlpool China Equity Method Investment During the second quarter of 2021, the partial tender offer for Whirlpool China was completed and the entity was deconsolidated. Subsequent to the share transfer, which was completed on May 6, 2021, the Company holds an equity interest of approximately 20% in Whirlpool China. The fair value of the retained investment in Whirlpool China at the date of deconsolidation was calculated based on the Whirlpool China stock price (Level 1 input), the portion of interest retained and the shares outstanding, resulting in a fair value of $214 million. For additional information see Note 15 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Turkey Subsidiary Divestment During the second quarter of 2021, we entered into a share transfer agreement to sell our Turkish subsidiary and the sale was completed on June 30, 2021. Fair value was calculated based on the cash purchase price, subject to customary adjustments at closing (Level 2 input), and we recorded a loss on sale and disposal of businesses of $40 million for the write-down of the assets to the fair value of $111 million. An immaterial adjustment to the loss on sale and disposal of business was recorded in the third quarter of 2021. For additional information see Note 15 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Other Fair Value Measurements The fair value of long-term debt (including current maturities) was $5.86 billion and $6.13 billion at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and was estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 2 input).
