Fair Value Hierarchy of Plan Assets
The following tables present our plan assets for the U.S. and non-U.S. plans using the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Our plans’ assets were accounted for at fair value and are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. For more information on a description of the fair value hierarchy, see Note 14.
