5. | Fair Value Measurement
For purposes of determining a fair value measurement, we utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized into a hierarchy that gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (“Level 1” ) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that require assumptions to measure fair value (“Level 3” ). Level 2 inputs are those that are other than quoted prices on national exchanges included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly (“Level 2” ). Fair Value of Financial Instruments . The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined using market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Interpreting market data to develop fair value estimates involves considerable judgment. The use of different market assumptions or methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange, or the value that ultimately will be realized upon maturity or disposition. The carrying amounts of the following instruments approximate fair value due to their short term to maturity: (i) accounts receivable, (ii) prepaid and other current assets, (iii) accounts payable, (iv) accrued employee compensation and benefits, (v) accrued interest, (vi) other accrued expenses and (vii) deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of our long-term debt was $2.5 billion and the fair value was $2.4 billion. As of December 31, 2017 the carrying amount of our long-term debt was $1.8 billion and the fair value was $1.9 million. Fair value of our long-term debt is based on observable estimates provided by third -party financial professionals and as such is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
