note 9 2013 fair value measurements the company uses the fair value hierarchy , which prioritizes the inputs used to measure the fair value of certain of its financial instruments . the hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ( level 1 measurement ) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs ( level 3 measurement ) . the three levels of the fair value hierarchy are set forth below : 2022 level 1 2013 quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date . active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis . 2022 level 2 2013 pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1 , which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date . level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies . these models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions , including time value , volatility factors , and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments , as well as other relevant economic measures . substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument , can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace . 2022 level 3 2013 pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources . these inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management 2019s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant . the fair value of the interest rate swap transactions are based on the discounted net present value of the swap using third party quotes ( level 2 ) . changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income ( loss ) , and changes resulting from ineffectiveness are recorded in current earnings . assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques . the three valuation techniques are identified in the table below and are as follows : a ) market approach 2013 prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities b ) cost approach 2013 amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset ( replacement cost ) c ) income approach 2013 techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations ( including present value techniques , option-pricing and excess earnings models ) .
