Financial instruments

 

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate such values:

 

Cash - the carrying amount approximates fair value because the amounts consist of cash held at a bank and cash held in short term investment accounts.

 

Accounts receivable - the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and historical collectability.

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities - the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the obligations.

 

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of November 30, 2019 and August 31, 2019 follows:

The following table presents information about the assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2019 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and included situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset:
