Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
We determine a fair value measurement based on the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 - Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). The fair value measurement guidance established a three level hierarchy making a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i) unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market (Level 1), (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (Level 2), and (iii) prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (Level 3).
Fair value measurements for defined benefit pension plan
The fair value hierarchy discussed above not only is applicable to assets and liabilities that are included in our consolidated balance sheets, but also is applied to certain other assets that indirectly impact our consolidated financial statements. For example, we sponsor and contribute to a single-employer defined benefit pension plan (see Note 11). Assets contributed by us become the property of the pension plan. Even though the Company no longer has control over these assets, we are indirectly impacted by subsequent fair value adjustments to these assets. The actual return on these assets impacts our future net periodic benefit cost, as well as amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. The Company uses the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of assets held by our pension plan. We believe the pension plan asset fair value valuation to comprise Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 assets held in the pension plan under GAAP consist of collective investment trust assets.
Fair value measurements for financial instruments
Carrying amounts for our financial instruments are not significantly different from their fair value.
