(a) Short-term and long-term investments are valued using a market-based approach using level 2 inputs such as prices of similar assets in active markets. (b) DSW Inc.'s cost method investment is valued using level 3 inputs. The fair value approximates the carrying value. (c) The Company estimated the fair value of the note receivable based upon current interest rates offered on similar instruments. The reduction in fair value is based on the change in comparable rates on similar instruments. Based on the Company’s intention and ability to hold the note until maturity or the exercise of the put/call option (see Note 3), the carrying value is not other-than-temporarily impaired. (d) Stock appreciation rights are valued using the Black-Scholes model. The following table presents activity related to level 3 fair value measurement for DSW Inc.'s cost method investment for the period presented:

Non-Financial Assets- The Company periodically evaluates the carrying amount of its long-lived assets, primarily property and equipment, and finite lived intangible assets when events and circumstances warrant such a review to ascertain if any assets have been impaired. In fiscal 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized impairment losses on leasehold improvements used in stores. The impairment losses were included in the DSW and ABG segments. The Company determined that the carrying value exceeded the expected future cash flows and recorded an impairment after determining fair value based on the discounted future cash flow analysis using a discount rate determined by management based on historical performance and expectations of future performance. The following table presents the activity related to the fair value of assets held and used that realized an impairment loss for the periods presented:
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Total Losses

After the impairment losses were recorded, the remaining fair value of assets was zero.
