+Added: consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes.
+Added: The level of a value determined for an asset or liability within
+Added: the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
+Added: The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
+Added: Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices
+Added: in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
+Added: Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted
+Added: prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices
