[1] The fair value of fixed-rate long term debt is estimated using the present value of underlying cash flows discounted at a current market yield for similar instruments. The carrying value of fixed-rate long term debt was $400.0 million and $125.0 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
