Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] |
Fair Value, Measurement Inputs, Disclosure | Fair Value Measurements The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its investments and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized by the level of objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. The following levels are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities: •Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments, which include U.S. treasury securities •Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.), which includes corporate debt securities •Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the credit risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table provides the fair value measurements of applicable Company assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis according to the fair value levels defined above as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
