The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated 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. The fair values of non-qualified employee benefit plan investments are obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices. 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 (Level 1).

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The estimated fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2018 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The income approach is used to calculate the fair value of these instruments. Fair value represents the present value of estimated future cash flows, calculated using relevant interest rates and yield curves at stated intervals. There were no material changes to the valuation method or assumptions used to determine the fair value during the current period.

There were noÌýtransfers between LevelsÌý1 and 2 within the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended DecemberÌý31, 2017.

The following table shows a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances for the three months ended March 31, 2017 for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (dollars in millions). During the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no instruments categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

There were no gains or losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

We also have assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a non‑recurring basis. These assets include property, plant and equipment and those associated with acquired businesses, including goodwill and intangible assets. For these assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is applicable if one or more is determined to be impaired. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded charges ofÌýnil for the impairment of long‑lived assets.
