accounts payable and other liabilities 31 ( 285 ) 2 total nonrecurring fair value gains/ ( losses ) $ ( 4012 ) $ ( 4857 ) $ ( 879 ) in the above table , loans predominantly include : ( 1 ) write-downs of delinquent mortgage and home equity loans where impairment is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral ; and ( 2 ) the change in fair value for leveraged lending loans carried on the consolidated balance sheets at the lower of cost or fair value . accounts payable and other liabilities predominantly include the change in fair value for unfunded lending-related commitments within the leveraged lending portfolio . level 3 analysis level 3 assets ( including assets measured at fair value on a nonre- curring basis ) were 6% ( 6 % ) of total firm assets at both december 31 , 2009 and 2008 . level 3 assets were $ 130.4 billion at december 31 , 2009 , reflecting a decrease of $ 7.3 billion in 2009 , due to the following : 2022 a net decrease of $ 6.3 billion in gross derivative receivables , predominantly driven by the tightening of credit spreads . offset- ting a portion of the decrease were net transfers into level 3 dur- ing the year , most notably a transfer into level 3 of $ 41.3 billion of structured credit derivative receivables , and a transfer out of level 3 of $ 17.7 billion of single-name cds on abs . the fair value of the receivables transferred into level 3 during the year was $ 22.1 billion at december 31 , 2009 . the fair value of struc- tured credit derivative payables with a similar underlying risk profile to the previously noted receivables , that are also classified in level 3 , was $ 12.5 billion at december 31 , 2009 . these de- rivatives payables offset the receivables , as they are modeled and valued the same way with the same parameters and inputs as the assets . 2022 a net decrease of $ 3.5 billion in loans , predominantly driven by sales of leveraged loans and transfers of similar loans to level 2 , due to increased price transparency for such assets . leveraged loans are typically classified as held-for-sale and measured at the lower of cost or fair value and , therefore , included in the nonre- curring fair value assets . 2022 a net decrease of $ 6.3 billion in trading assets 2013 debt and equity instruments , primarily in loans and residential- and commercial- mbs , principally driven by sales and markdowns , and by sales and unwinds of structured transactions with hedge funds . the declines were partially offset by a transfer from level 2 to level 3 of certain structured notes reflecting lower liquidity and less pricing ob- servability , and also increases in the fair value of other abs . 2022 a net increase of $ 6.1 billion in msrs , due to increases in the fair value of the asset , related primarily to market interest rate and other changes affecting the firm's estimate of future pre- payments , as well as sales in rfs of originated loans for which servicing rights were retained . these increases were offset par- tially by servicing portfolio runoff . 2022 a net increase of $ 1.9 billion in accrued interest and accounts receivable related to increases in subordinated retained interests from the firm 2019s credit card securitization activities . gains and losses gains and losses included in the tables for 2009 and 2008 included : 2022 $ 11.4 billion of net losses on derivatives , primarily related to the tightening of credit spreads . 2022 net losses on trading 2013debt and equity instruments of $ 671 million , consisting of $ 2.1 billion of losses , primarily related to residential and commercial loans and mbs , principally driven by markdowns and sales , partially offset by gains of $ 1.4 billion , reflecting increases in the fair value of other abs . ( for a further discussion of the gains and losses on mortgage-related expo- sures , inclusive of risk management activities , see the 201cmort- gage-related exposures carried at fair value 201d discussion below. ) 2022 $ 5.8 billion of gains on msrs . 2022 $ 1.4 billion of losses related to structured note liabilities , pre- dominantly due to volatility in the equity markets . 2022 losses on trading-debt and equity instruments of approximately $ 12.8 billion , principally from mortgage-related transactions and auction-rate securities . 2022 losses of $ 6.9 billion on msrs . 2022 losses of approximately $ 3.9 billion on leveraged loans . 2022 net gains of $ 4.6 billion related to derivatives , principally due to changes in credit spreads and rate curves . 2022 gains of $ 4.5 billion related to structured notes , principally due to significant volatility in the fixed income , commodities and eq- uity markets . 2022 private equity losses of $ 638 million . for further information on changes in the fair value of the msrs , see note 17 on pages 223 2013224 of this annual report. .
