Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 3. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value is defined as 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. Accordingly, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value of the hedge derivative asset was determined based on quotes from the counterparty which were verified by comparing them to the exchange on which the related futures are traded, adjusted for counterparty credit risk. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs 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.
