A fair value measurement is for a particular asset or liability. Therefore, when measuring fair value a reporting entity shall take into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Such characteristics include, for example, the following:

1.  a
    
    The condition and location of the asset
    
2.  b
    
    Restrictions, if any, on the sale or use of the asset.

The effect on the measurement arising from a particular characteristic will differ depending on how that characteristic would be taken into account by market participants. Paragraph [820-10-55-51](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-55-51) illustrates a restriction's effect on fair value measurement.

1.  a
    
    A standalone asset or liability (for example, a [financial instrument](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financial-instrument "Cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that both: Imposes on one entity a contractual obligation either: To deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity To exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity.

All contractual rights (contractual obligations) that are financial instruments meet the definition of asset (liability) set forth in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, although some may not be recognized as assets (liabilities) in financial statements—that is, they may be off-balance-sheet—because they fail to meet some other criterion for recognition. For some financial instruments, the right is held by or the obligation is due from (or the obligation is owed to or by) a group of entities rather than a single entity.

A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

1.  a
    
    In the [principal market](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#principal-market "The market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability.") for the asset or liability
    
2.  b
    
    In the absence of a principal market, in the [most advantageous market](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/m/#most-advantageous-market "The market that maximizes the amount that would be received to sell the asset or minimizes the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transportation costs.") for the asset or liability.

A reporting entity need not undertake an exhaustive search of all possible markets to identify the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market, but it shall take into account all information that is reasonably available. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the market in which the reporting entity normally would enter into a transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability is presumed to be the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market.

The reporting entity must have access to the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date. Because different entities (and businesses within those entities) with different activities may have access to different markets, the principal (or most advantageous) market for the same asset or liability might be different for different entities (and businesses within those entities). Therefore, the principal (or most advantageous) market (and thus, market participants) shall be considered from the perspective of the reporting entity, thereby allowing for differences between and among entities with different activities.

Although a reporting entity must be able to access the market, the reporting entity does not need to be able to sell the particular asset or transfer the particular liability on the measurement date to be able to measure fair value on the basis of the price in that market. For example, an [equity security](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/e/#equity-security "Any security representing an ownership interest in an entity (for example, common, preferred, or other capital stock) or the right to acquire (for example, warrants, rights, forward purchase contracts, and call options) or dispose of (for example, put options and forward sale contracts) an ownership interest in an entity at fixed or determinable prices.

Even when there is no observable market to provide pricing information about the sale of an asset or the transfer of a liability at the measurement date, a fair value measurement shall assume that a transaction takes place at that date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. That assumed transaction establishes a basis for estimating the price to sell the asset or to transfer the liability.

A reporting entity shall measure the fair value of an asset or a liability using the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. In developing those assumptions, a reporting entity need not identify specific market participants. Rather, the reporting entity shall identify characteristics that distinguish market participants generally, considering factors specific to all of the following:

1.  a
    
    The asset or liability
    
2.  b
    
    The principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability
    
3.  c
    
    Market participants with whom the reporting entity would enter into a transaction in that market.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an [exit price](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/e/#exit-price "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability.")) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.

Transaction costs shall be accounted for in accordance with other Topics. Transaction costs are not a characteristic of an asset or a liability; rather, they are specific to a transaction and will differ depending on how a reporting entity enters into a transaction for the asset or liability.

The highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset takes into account the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible, as follows:

1.  a
    
    A use that is physically possible takes into account the physical characteristics of the asset that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset (for example, the location or size of a property).
    
2.  b
    
    A use that is legally permissible takes into account any legal restrictions on the use of the asset that market participants would take into account when pricing the asset (for example, the zoning regulations applicable to a property).
    
3.  c
    
    A use that is financially feasible takes into account whether a use of the asset that is physically possible and legally permissible generates adequate income or cash flows (taking into account the costs of converting the asset to that use) to produce an investment return that market participants would require from an investment in that asset put to that use.

Highest and best use is determined from the perspective of market participants, even if the reporting entity intends a different use. However, a reporting entity's current use of a nonfinancial asset is presumed to be its highest and best use unless market or other factors suggest that a different use by market participants would maximize the value of the asset.

To protect its competitive position, or for other reasons, a reporting entity may intend not to use an acquired nonfinancial asset actively, or it may intend not to use the asset according to its highest and best use. For example, that might be the case for an acquired intangible asset that the reporting entity plans to use defensively by preventing others from using it. Nevertheless, the reporting entity shall measure the fair value of a nonfinancial asset assuming its highest and best use by market participants.

The highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset establishes the valuation premise used to measure the fair value of the asset, as follows:

1.  a
    
    The highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset might provide maximum value to market participants through its use in combination with other assets as a group (as installed or otherwise configured for use) or in combination with other assets and liabilities (for example, a business).
    
    1.  1
        
        If the highest and best use of the asset is to use the asset in combination with other assets or with other assets and liabilities, the fair value of the asset is the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the asset assuming that the asset would be used with other assets or with other assets and liabilities and that those assets and liabilities (that is, its complementary assets and the associated liabilities) would be available to market participants.
        
    2.  2
        
        Liabilities associated with the asset and with the complementary assets include liabilities that fund working capital, but do not include liabilities used to fund assets other than those within the group of assets.
        
    3.  3
        
        Assumptions about the highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset shall be consistent for all of the assets (for which highest and best use is relevant) of the group of assets or the group of assets and liabilities within which the asset would be used.
        
2.  b
    
    The highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset might provide maximum value to market participants on a standalone basis. If the highest and best use of the asset is to use it on a standalone basis, the fair value of the asset is the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the asset to market participants that would use the asset on a standalone basis.

The fair value measurement of a nonfinancial asset assumes that the asset is sold consistent with the unit of account specified in other Topics (which may be an individual asset). That is the case even when that fair value measurement assumes that the highest and best use of the asset is to use it in combination with other assets or with other assets and liabilities because a fair value measurement assumes that the market participant already holds the complementary assets and associated liabilities.

A fair value measurement assumes that a financial or nonfinancial liability or an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity (for example, equity interests issued as consideration in a business combination) is transferred to a market participant at the measurement date. The transfer of a liability or an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity assumes the following:

1.  a

    A liability would remain outstanding and the market participant transferee would be required to fulfill the obligation. The liability would not be settled with the counterparty or otherwise extinguished on the measurement date.
    
3.  c
    
    An instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity would remain outstanding and the market participant transferee would take on the rights and responsibilities associated with the instrument. The instrument would not be cancelled or otherwise extinguished on the measurement date.

Even when there is no observable market to provide pricing information about the transfer of a liability or an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity (for example, because contractual or other legal restrictions prevent the transfer of such items), there might be an observable market for such items if they are held by other parties as assets (for example, a corporate bond or a call option on a reporting entity's shares).

When measuring the fair value of a liability or an equity instrument held by another party as an asset, a reporting entity shall adjust the quoted price of the asset only if there are factors specific to the asset that are not applicable to the fair value measurement of the liability or equity instrument. When the asset held by another party includes a characteristic restricting its sale, (see paragraphs [820-10-35-6B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-6B) and [820-10-35-36B](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-36B)), the fair value of the corresponding liability or equity instrument also would include the effect of the restriction. Some factors that may indicate that the quoted price of the asset should be adjusted include the following:

1.  a
    
    The quoted price for the asset relates to a similar (but not identical) liability or equity instrument held by another party as an asset. For example, the liability or equity instrument may have a particular characteristic (for example, the credit quality of the issuer) that is different from that reflected in the fair value of the similar liability or equity instrument held as an asset.
    
2.  b
    
    The unit of account for the asset is not the same as for the liability or equity instrument. For example, for liabilities, in some cases the price for an asset reflects a combined price for a package comprising both the amounts due from the issuer and a third-party credit enhancement. If the unit of account for the liability is not for the combined package, the objective is to measure the fair value of the issuer's liability, not the fair value of the combined package. Thus, in such cases, the reporting entity would adjust the observed price for the asset to exclude the effect of the third-party credit enhancement. See paragraph [820-10-35-18A](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-18A) for further guidance.

For example, when applying a present value technique, a reporting entity might take into account either of the following:

1.  a
    
    The future cash outflows that a market participant would expect to incur in fulfilling the obligation, including the compensation that a market participant would require for taking on the obligation (see paragraphs

When using a present value technique to measure the fair value of a liability that is not held by another party as an asset (for example, an asset retirement obligation), a reporting entity shall, among other things, estimate the future cash outflows that market participants would expect to incur in fulfilling the obligation. Those future cash outflows shall include market participants' expectations about the costs of fulfilling the obligation and the compensation that a market participant would require for taking on the obligation. Such compensation includes the return that a market participant would require for the following:

1.  a
    
    Undertaking the activity (that is, the value of fulfilling the obligation—for example, by using resources that could be used for other activities)
    
2.  b
    
    Assuming the risk associated with the obligation (that is, a [risk premium](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#risk-premium "Compensation sought by risk-averse market participants for bearing the uncertainty inherent in the cash flows of an asset or a liability. Also referred to as a risk adjustment.") that reflects the risk that the actual cash outflows might differ from the expected cash outflows; see paragraph [820-10-35-16L](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-16L)).

For example, a nonfinancial liability does not contain a contractual rate of return and there is no observable market yield for that liability. In some cases, the components of the return that market participants would require will be indistinguishable from one another (for example, when using the price a third-party contractor would charge on a fixed-fee basis). In other cases, a reporting entity needs to estimate those components separately (for example, when using the price a third-party contractor would charge on a cost-plus basis because the contractor in that case would not bear the risk of future changes in costs).

A reporting entity can include a risk premium in the fair value measurement of a liability or an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity that is not held by another party as an asset in one of the following ways:

1.  a
    
    By adjusting the cash flows (that is, as an increase in the amount of cash outflows)
    
2.  b
    
    By adjusting the rate used to discount the future cash flows to their present values (that is, as a reduction in the discount rate).
    

A reporting entity shall ensure that it does not double count or omit adjustments for risk. For example, if the estimated cash flows are increased to take into account the compensation for assuming the risk associated with the obligation, the discount rate should not be adjusted to reflect that risk.

The fair value of a liability reflects the effect of [nonperformance risk](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#nonperformance-risk "The risk that an entity will not fulfill an obligation. Nonperformance risk includes, but may not be limited to, the reporting entity's own credit risk."). Nonperformance risk includes, but may not be limited to, a reporting entity's own [credit risk](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#credit-risk "For purposes of a hedged item in a fair value hedge, credit risk is the risk of changes in the hedged item's fair value attributable to both of the following: Changes in the obligor's creditworthiness Changes in the spread over the benchmark interest ratewith respect to the hedged item's credit sector at inception of the hedge. For purposes of a hedged transaction in a cash flow hedge, credit risk is the risk of changes in the hedged transaction's cash flows attributable to all of the following: Default Changes in the obligor's creditworthiness Changes in the spread over the contractually specified interest rate or the benchmark interest rate with respect to the related financial asset's or liability's credit sector at inception of the hedge."). Nonperformance risk is assumed to be the same before and after the transfer of the liability.

When measuring the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity shall take into account the effect of its credit risk (credit standing) and any other factors that might influence the likelihood that the obligation will or will not be fulfilled. That effect may differ depending on the liability, for example:

1.  a
    
    Whether the liability is an obligation to deliver cash (a financial liability) or an obligation to deliver goods or services (a nonfinancial liability)
    
2.  b

For example, at the transaction date, both the creditor and the obligor accepted the transaction price for the liability with full knowledge that the obligation includes a restriction that prevents its transfer. As a result of the restriction being included in the transaction price, a separate input or an adjustment to an existing input is not required at the transaction date to reflect the effect of the restriction on transfer. Similarly, a separate input or an adjustment to an existing input is not required at subsequent measurement dates to reflect the effect of the restriction on transfer.

A reporting entity that holds a group of [financial assets](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financial-asset "Cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that conveys to one entity a right to do either of the following: Receive cash or another financial instrument from a second entity Exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the second entity."), [financial liabilities](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financial-liability "A contract that imposes on one entity an obligation to do either of the following:Deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity Exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity."), nonfinancial items accounted for as derivatives in accordance with Topic 815, or combinations of these items is exposed to market risks (that is, [interest rate risk](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/i/#interest-rate-risk "For recognized variable-rate financial instruments and forecasted issuances or purchases of variable-rate financial instruments, interest rate risk is the risk of changes in the hedged item's cash flows attributable to changes in the contractually specified interest rate in the agreement.

If the reporting entity manages that group of financial assets, financial liabilities, nonfinancial items accounted for as derivatives in accordance with Topic 815, or combinations of these items on the basis of its net exposure to either market risks or credit risk, the reporting entity is permitted to apply an exception to this Topic for measuring fair value. That exception permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities, nonfinancial items accounted for as derivatives in accordance with Topic 815, or combinations of these items on the basis of the price that would be received to sell a net long position (that is, an asset) for a particular risk exposure or paid to transfer a net short position (that is, a liability) for a particular risk exposure in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Accordingly, a reporting entity shall measure the fair value of the group of financial assets, financial liabilities, nonfinancial items accounted for as derivatives in accordance with Topic 815, or combinations of these items consistently with how market participants would price the net risk exposure at the measurement date.

The exception in paragraph [820-10-35-18D](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-18D) does not pertain to financial statement presentation. In some cases, the basis for the presentation of financial instruments in the statement of financial position differs from the basis for the measurement of financial instruments, for example, if a Topic does not require or permit financial instruments to be presented on a net basis. In such cases, a reporting entity may need to allocate the portfolio-level adjustments (see paragraphs

[820-10-35-18I through 35-18L](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-18I)

The objective of using a valuation technique is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Three widely used valuation approaches are the [market approach](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/m/#market-approach "A valuation approach that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (that is, similar) assets, liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business."), [cost approach](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#cost-approach "A valuation approach that reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset (often referred to as current replacement cost)."), and [income approach](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/i/#income-approach "Valuation approaches that convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (that is, discounted) amount. The fair value measurement is determined on the basis of the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts."). The main aspects of valuation techniques consistent with those approaches are summarized in paragraphs

[820-10-55-3A through 55-3G](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-55-3A)

. An entity shall use valuation techniques consistent with one or more of those approaches to measure fair value.

In some cases, a single valuation technique will be appropriate (for example, when valuing an asset or a liability using quoted prices in an [active market](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#active-market "A market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.") for identical assets or liabilities). In other cases, multiple valuation techniques will be appropriate (for example, that might be the case when valuing a reporting unit). If multiple valuation techniques are used to measure fair value, the results (that is, respective indications of fair value) shall be evaluated considering the reasonableness of the range of values indicated by those results. A fair value measurement is the point within that range that is most representative of fair value in the circumstances.

If the transaction price is fair value at initial recognition and a valuation technique that uses unobservable inputs will be used to measure fair value in subsequent periods, the valuation technique shall be calibrated so that at initial recognition the result of the valuation technique equals the transaction price. Calibration ensures that the valuation technique reflects current market conditions, and it helps a reporting entity to determine whether an adjustment to the valuation technique is necessary (for example, there might be a characteristic of the asset or liability that is not captured by the valuation technique). After initial recognition, when measuring fair value using a valuation technique or techniques that use unobservable inputs, a reporting entity shall ensure that those valuation techniques reflect observable market data (for example, the price for a similar asset or liability) at the measurement date.

Valuation techniques used to measure fair value shall be applied consistently. However, a change in a valuation technique or its application (for example, a change in its weighting when multiple valuation techniques are used or a change in an adjustment applied to a valuation technique) is appropriate if the change results in a measurement that is equally or more representative of fair value in the circumstances. That might be the case if, for example, any of the following events take place:

1.  a
    
    New markets develop.
    
2.  b
    
    New information becomes available.

Examples of markets in which inputs might be observable for some assets and liabilities (for example, financial instruments) include [exchange markets](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/e/#exchange-market "A market in which closing prices are both readily available and generally representative of fair value. An example of such a market is the New York Stock Exchange."), [dealer markets](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/d/#dealer-market "A market in which dealers stand ready to trade (either buy or sell for their own account), thereby providing liquidity by using their capital to hold an inventory of the items for which they make a market. Typically, bid and ask prices (representing the price at which the dealer is willing to buy and the price at which the dealer is willing to sell, respectively) are more readily available than closing prices. Over-the-counter markets (for which prices are publicly reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations systems or by OTC Markets Group Inc.) are dealer markets. For example, the market for U.S. Treasury securities is a dealer market. Dealer markets also exist for some other assets and liabilities, including other financial instruments, commodities, and physical assets (for example, used equipment)."), [brokered markets](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/b/#brokered-market "A market in which brokers attempt to match buyers with sellers but do not stand ready to trade for their own account. In other words, brokers do not use their own capital to hold an inventory of the items for which they make a market. The broker knows the prices bid and asked by the respective parties, but each party is typically unaware of another party's price requirements. Prices of completed transactions are sometimes available. Brokered markets include electronic communication networks, in which buy and sell orders are matched, and commercial and residential real estate markets."), and [principal-to-principal markets](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#principal-to-principal-market "A market in which transactions, both originations and resales, are negotiated independently with no intermediary. Little information about those transactions may be made available publicly.").

A reporting entity shall select inputs that are consistent with the characteristics of the asset or liability that market participants would take into account in a transaction for the asset or liability (see paragraphs

[820-10-35-2B through 35-2C](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-2B)

). In some cases, those characteristics result in the application of an adjustment, such as a premium or discount (for example, a control premium or noncontrolling interest discount). However, a fair value measurement shall not incorporate a premium or discount that is inconsistent with the unit of account in the Topic that requires or permits the fair value measurement. Premiums or discounts that reflect size as a characteristic of the reporting entity's holding (specifically, a blockage factor that adjusts the quoted price of an asset or a liability because the market's normal daily trading volume is not sufficient to absorb the quantity held by the entity, as described in paragraph [820-10-35-44](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-44)) rather than as a characteristic of the asset or liability (for example, a control premium when measuring the fair value of a controlling interest) are not permitted in a fair value measurement. Similarly, a discount applied to the price of an equity security because of a contractual sale restriction is inconsistent with the unit of account being the equity security. A contractual sale restriction is a characteristic of the reporting entity holding the equity security rather than a characteristic of the asset and, therefore, is not considered in measuring the fair value of an equity security (see paragraphs

To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, this Topic establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels (see paragraphs

[820-10-35-40 through 35-41](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-40)

) the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ([Level 1 inputs](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/l/#level-1-inputs "Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.")) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs ([Level 3 inputs](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/l/#level-3-inputs "Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.")).

In some cases, the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the entire measurement requires judgment, taking into account factors specific to the asset or liability. Adjustments to arrive at measurements based on fair value, such as costs to sell when measuring fair value less costs to sell, shall not be taken into account when determining the level of the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement is categorized.

The availability of relevant inputs and their relative subjectivity might affect the selection of appropriate valuation techniques (see paragraph [820-10-35-24)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-24). However, the fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques, not the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. For example, a fair value measurement developed using a present value technique might be categorized within Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the inputs that are significant to the entire measurement and the level of the fair value hierarchy within which those inputs are categorized.

If an observable input requires an adjustment using an unobservable input and that adjustment results in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, the resulting measurement would be categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For example, if a market participant would take into account the effect of a restriction on the sale of an asset when estimating the price for the asset, a reporting entity would adjust the quoted price to reflect the effect of that restriction. If that quoted price is a Level 2 input and the adjustment is an unobservable input that is significant to the entire measurement, the measurement would be categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

A Level 1 input will be available for many financial assets and financial liabilities, some of which might be exchanged in multiple active markets (for example, on different exchanges). Therefore, the emphasis within Level 1 is on determining both of the following:

1.  a
    
    The principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability
    
2.  b
    
    Whether the reporting entity can enter into a transaction for the asset or liability at the price in that market for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

A reporting entity shall not make an adjustment to a Level 1 input except in the following circumstances:

1.  a
    
    When a reporting entity holds a large number of similar (but not identical) assets or liabilities (for example, debt securities) that are measured at fair value and a quoted price in an active market is available but not readily accessible for each of those assets or liabilities individually (that is, given the large number of similar assets or liabilities held by the reporting entity, it would be difficult to obtain pricing information for each individual asset or liability at the measurement date). In that case, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity may measure fair value using an alternative pricing method that does not rely exclusively on quoted prices (for example, matrix pricing). However, the use of an alternative pricing method results in a fair value measurement categorized within a lower level of the fair value hierarchy.
    
2.  b
    
    When a quoted price in an active market does not represent fair value at the measurement date. That might be the case if, for example, significant events (such as transactions in a principal-to-principal market, trades in a brokered market, or announcements) take place after the close of a market but before the measurement date. A reporting entity shall establish and consistently apply a policy for identifying those events that might affect fair value measurements. However, if the quoted price is adjusted for new information, the adjustment results in a fair value measurement categorized within a lower level of the fair value hierarchy.
    
3.  c
    
    When measuring the fair value of a liability or an instrument classified in a reporting entity's shareholders' equity using the quoted price for the identical item traded as an asset in an active market and that price needs to be adjusted for factors specific to the item or the asset (see paragraph [820-10-35-16D](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-16D)). If no adjustment to the quoted price of the asset is required, the result is a fair value measurement categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. However, any adjustment to the quoted price of the asset results in a fair value measurement categorized within a lower level of the fair value hierarchy.

If a reporting entity holds a position in a single asset or liability (including a position comprising a large number of identical assets or liabilities, such as a holding of financial instruments) and the asset or liability is traded in an active market, the fair value of the asset or liability shall be measured within Level 1 as the product of the quoted price for the individual asset or liability and the quantity held by the reporting entity. That is the case, even if a market's normal daily trading volume is not sufficient to absorb the quantity held and placing orders to sell the position in a single transaction might affect the quoted price.

Adjustments to Level 2 inputs will vary depending on factors specific to the asset or liability. Those factors include the following:

1.  a
    
    The condition or location of the asset
    
2.  b
    
    The extent to which inputs relate to items that are comparable to the asset or liability (including those factors described in paragraph [820-10-35-16D](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-16D))
    
3.  c

Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. However, the fair value measurement objective remains the same, that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. Therefore, unobservable inputs shall reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.

Assumptions about risk include the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. A measurement that does not include an adjustment for risk would not represent a fair value measurement if market participants would include one when pricing the asset or liability. For example, it might be necessary to include a risk adjustment when there is significant measurement uncertainty (for example, when there has been a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity when compared with normal market activity for the asset or liability, or similar assets or liabilities, and the reporting entity has determined that the transaction price or quoted price does not represent fair value, as described in paragraphs

[820-10-35-54C through 35-54J](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-54C)

A reporting entity shall develop unobservable inputs using the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the reporting entity's own data. In developing unobservable inputs, a reporting entity may begin with its own data, but it shall adjust those data if reasonably available information indicates that other market participants would use different data or there is something particular to the reporting entity that is not available to other market participants (for example, an entity-specific synergy). A reporting entity need not undertake exhaustive efforts to obtain information about market participant assumptions. However, a reporting entity shall take into account all information about market participant assumptions that is reasonably available. Unobservable inputs developed in the manner described above are considered market participant assumptions and meet the objective of a fair value measurement.

The fair value of an asset or a liability might be affected when there has been a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for that asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities). To determine whether, on the basis of the evidence available, there has been a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for the asset or liability, a reporting entity shall evaluate the significance and relevance of factors such as the following:

1.  a
    
    There are few recent transactions.
    
2.  b
    
    Price quotations are not developed using current information.
    
3.  c
    
    Price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets).
    
4.  d
    
    Indices that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability.
    
5.  e
    
    There is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with the reporting entity's estimate of expected cash flows, taking into account all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability.
    
6.  f
    
    There is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread.
    
7.  g
    
    There is a significant decline in the activity of, or there is an absence of, a market for new issues (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities.
    
8.  h
    
    Little information is publicly available (for example, for transactions that take place in a principal-to-principal market).

If a reporting entity concludes that there has been a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities), further analysis of the transactions or quoted prices is needed. A decrease in the volume or level of activity on its own may not indicate that a transaction price or quoted price does not represent fair value or that a transaction in that market is not orderly. However, if a reporting entity determines that a transaction or quoted price does not represent fair value (for example, there may be transactions that are not orderly), an adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices will be necessary if the reporting entity uses those prices as a basis for measuring fair value and that adjustment may be significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Adjustments also may be necessary in other circumstances (for example, when a price for a similar asset requires significant adjustment to make it comparable to the asset being measured or when the price is stale).

This Topic does not prescribe a methodology for making significant adjustments to transactions or quoted prices. See paragraphs

[820-10-35-24 through 35-27](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-35-24)

for a discussion of the use of valuation techniques when measuring fair value. Regardless of the valuation technique used, a reporting entity shall include appropriate risk adjustments, including a [risk premium](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#risk-premium "Compensation sought by risk-averse market participants for bearing the uncertainty inherent in the cash flows of an asset or a liability. Also referred to as a risk adjustment.") reflecting the amount that market participants would demand as compensation for the uncertainty inherent in the cash flows of an asset or a liability (see paragraph [820-10-55-8](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/820/10/#820-10-55-8)). Otherwise, the measurement does not faithfully represent fair value. In some cases, determining the appropriate risk adjustment might be difficult. However, the degree of difficulty alone is not a sufficient basis on which to exclude a risk adjustment. The risk adjustment shall be reflective of an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

If there has been a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate (for example, the use of a market approach and a present value technique). When weighting indications of fair value resulting from the use of multiple valuation techniques, a reporting entity shall consider the reasonableness of the range of fair value measurements. The objective is to determine the point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions. A wide range of fair value measurements may be an indication that further analysis is needed.

Even when there has been a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for the asset or liability, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distress sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.

Estimating the price at which market participants would be willing to enter into a transaction at the measurement date under current market conditions if there has been a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for the asset or liability depends on the facts and circumstances at the measurement date and requires judgment. A reporting entity's intention to hold the asset or to settle or otherwise fulfill the liability is not relevant when measuring fair value because fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.

The determination of whether a transaction is orderly (or is not orderly) is more difficult if there has been a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for the asset or liability in relation to normal market activity for the asset or liability (or similar assets or liabilities). In such circumstances, it is not appropriate to conclude that all transactions in that market are not orderly (that is, forced liquidations or distress sales). Circumstances that may indicate that a transaction is not orderly include the following:

1.  a
    
    There was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions.
    
2.  b
    
    There was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant.
    
3.  c
    
    The seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, the seller is distressed).
    
4.  d
    
    The seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, the seller was forced).
    
5.  e
    
    The transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or a similar asset or liability.
    

A reporting entity shall evaluate the circumstances to determine whether, on the weight of the evidence available, the transaction is orderly.

A reporting entity shall consider all of the following when measuring fair value or estimating market risk premiums:

1.  a
    
    If the evidence indicates the transaction is not orderly, a reporting entity shall place little, if any, weight (compared with other indications of fair value) on that transaction price.
    
2.  b
    
    If the evidence indicates that a transaction is orderly, a reporting entity shall take into account that transaction price. The amount of weight placed on that transaction price when compared with other indications of fair value will depend on the facts and circumstances, such as the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        The volume of the transaction
        
    2.  2
        
        The comparability of the transaction to the asset or liability being measured
        
    3.  3
        
        The proximity of the transaction to the measurement date.
        
3.  c
    
    If a reporting entity does not have sufficient information to conclude whether a transaction is orderly, it shall take into account the transaction price. However, that transaction price may not represent fair value (that is, the transaction price is not necessarily the sole or primary basis for measuring fair value or estimating market risk premiums). When a reporting entity does not have sufficient information to conclude whether particular transactions are orderly, the reporting entity shall place less weight on those transactions when compared with other transactions that are known to be orderly.
    

A reporting entity need not undertake exhaustive efforts to determine whether a transaction is orderly, but it shall not ignore information that is reasonably available. When a reporting entity is a party to a transaction, it is presumed to have sufficient information to conclude whether the transaction is orderly.

If there has been a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity for the asset or liability, a reporting entity shall evaluate whether the quoted prices provided by third parties are developed using current information that reflects orderly transactions or a valuation technique that reflects market participant assumptions (including assumptions about risk). In weighting a quoted price as an input to a fair value measurement, a reporting entity places less weight (when compared with other indications of fair value that reflect the results of transactions) on quotes that do not reflect the result of transactions.

1.  a
    
    Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the investment.
    
2.  b
    
    An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the investment have been initiated.
    
3.  c
    
    The investment is available for immediate sale subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such investments (for example, a requirement to obtain approval of the sale from the investee or a buyer's due diligence procedures).
    
4.  d
    
    Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
