Schedule of Weighted Average Assumptions Used to Estimate Fair Value of Options | The weighted-average fair value calculations for performance units granted during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were based on the following weighted-average assumptions set forth below:
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Risk-free interest rate (1) |  |  | 2.9 | % |  |  | 0.4 | % |  |  | 0.4 | %
Expected stock volatility (2) |  |  | 86.5 | % |  |  | 83.2 | % |  |  | 66.2 | %
Expected dividend yield (3) |  |  | 1.0 | % |  |  | 1.3 | % |  |  | 7.7 | %
Expected term (in years) |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 3 |
(1) The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities for the expected term of the performance units. (2) Expected volatilities are based on the daily closing price of our stock based upon historical experience over a three-year period. (3) Expected dividend yield is based on the annualized dividend in effect on the measurement date and the stock price on the grant date.
