See Note 9 for information on fair value adjustments to long-term debt included at cost in the consolidated balance sheets.

For assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 measurements, where the security is frequently traded in less active markets, fair value is based on the closing price at the end of the period; where the security is less frequently traded, fair value is based on the price a dealer would pay for the security or similar securities, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset or liability, or by using observable market data points of similar, more liquid securities to imply the price. Market inputs are obtained from well-established and recognized vendors of market data and subjected to tolerance/quality checks.

Assets that are measured using significant other observable inputs are primarily valued by reference to quoted prices of similar assets in active markets, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset. For all other assets for which observable inputs are used, fair value is derived through the use of fair value models, such as a discounted cash flow model or other standard pricing models. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
The following table summarizes the basis used to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets in 2012:

2012 Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
As part of the restructuring plan that was approved on October 22, 2012, the Corporation shut down a number of manufacturing facilities during the fourth quarter of 2012. The manufacturing assets and facilities associated with this plan were written down to zero in the fourth quarter of 2012. In addition, an equity investment was impaired. The equity investment, classified as Level 3 measurements, was valued at $33 million using unobservable inputs, including assumptions a market participant would use to measure the fair value of the group of assets. These impairment charges, totaling $48 million, were included in "Restructuring charges" in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 for additional information. Also included within the losses is a charge of $131 million related to an impairment of a investment in related companies. The investment in related companies, classified as Level 3 measurements, was valued at $9 million using unobservable inputs, including assumptions a market participant would use to measure the fair value of the group of assets. See Note 16 for additional information.
