FAIR VALUE

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants. Various valuation approaches can be used to determine fair value, each requiring different valuation inputs. The following hierarchy classifies the inputs used to determine fair value into three levels:


•	Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;


•	Level 2 – inputs, other than quoted prices, observable by a marketplace participant either directly or indirectly; and


•	Level 3 – unobservable inputs significant to the fair value measurement.

We did not have any significant non-financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on December 31, 2015 or 2014, except for the assets of our axle business that were classified as held for sale on December 31, 2014, and were measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. See Note A for further discussion.

Our financial instruments include cash and equivalents, marketable securities and other investments; accounts receivable and accounts payable; short- and long-term debt; and derivative financial instruments. The carrying values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and payable and short-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their fair value. The following tables present the fair values of our other financial assets and liabilities on December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the basis for determining their fair values:
