Fair Value Measurements	Note 7. Fair Value Measurements All short-term financial instruments are generally carried at amounts that approximate estimated fair value. The fair value is the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. Assets measured at fair value are categorized based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations. Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 – quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (which the Company classifies as Level 1 assets), accounts receivable – trade and accounts payable represent their respective fair values due to their short- term nature. There was $668.0 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2014 (none at December 31, 2013). The fair value of the Company’s senior notes, based on market prices for publicly-traded debt (which the Company classifies as Level 2 inputs), was $2,120.7 and $2,058.5 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. There are no financial instruments with Level 3 inputs at any date.
