Fair Value Measurements |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements The Company holds certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value in accordance with GAAP. The Compa ny determined the fair value of these assets based on the following three levels of inputs:
Level 1 |  | — |  | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 |  | — |  | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Some of the Company’s marketable securities primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities.
Level 3 |  | — |  | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):

The Company’s “marketable securities” classified as Level 2 securities primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities. The Company did not make any significant transfers of securities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company’s policy regarding the recording of transfers between levels is to record any such transfers at the end of the reporting period. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company classified $380.2 million and $503.5 million of marketable securities, respectively, as short-term since it had the intent to maintain a liquid portfolio and the ability to redeem the securities within one year. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the cost of the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents and available for sale securities was $704.8 million and $685.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair value of the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents and available for sale securities was $704.8 million and $685.3 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt classified as Level 2 debt was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current estimated incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is estimated based on current rates offered to the Company for similar debt and was estimated to be $3.15 billion as of September 30, 2018 and $2.70 billion as of December 31, 2017, as compared to the carrying amount of $3.13 billion as of September 30, 2018 and $2.71 billion as of December 31, 2017.
