The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short‑term maturity of these financial instruments. We elected the fair value option to account for our equity method investment in Venator post deconsolidation. The fair value of our remaining investment in Venator reported in investment in unconsolidated affiliates is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices. See “Note 7. Investment in Unconsolidated Investments.â€� The fair values of non‑qualified employee benefit plan investments are obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices. The fair value of the forward swap contract related to the sale of investment in Venator is determined based on the average of the daily volume weighted average price of Venator ordinary shares over an agreed period. The estimated fair values of our long‑term debt are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market (LevelÌý1).
