The following table summarizes our cash equivalents and marketable securities measured at fair value. Certain marketable securities consist of investments in debt securities. With the exception of money market funds, these investments in debt securities are classified as trading securities. We classify our cash equivalents and marketable securities within Level 1 because we use quoted market prices models utilizing market observable inputs to determine their fair value.
