The following table provides quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s MSRs classified as Level 3 fair value assets at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:


As of December 31, 2019
Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range		Weighted Average
Discounted cash flow	Constant prepayment rate	7.4 - 27.6%		13.3	%
	Discount rate	12.0	%	12.0	%


As of December 31, 2018
Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range		Weighted Average

	Discount rate	12.0	%	12.0	%

As discussed in Note 2, GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The following table details the carrying amount, face amount and fair value of the financial instruments described in Note 2:


	December 31, 2019

Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	10,942,115		$	10,942,115	$	10,942,115

Total	$	503,978,918	$	510,181,000	$	509,000,439

Estimates of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are measured using quoted prices, or Level 1 inputs. Estimates of the fair value of collateralized loan obligations are measured using observable, quoted market prices, in active markets, or Level 2 inputs. All other fair value significant estimates are measured using unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs. See Note 2 for further discussion regarding fair value measurement of certain of our assets and liabilities.
