Fair Value of Businesses and Goodwill Allocation
For purposes of allocating goodwill to the disposal groups that represented a portion of a reporting unit, we determine the fair value of each disposal group based on the respective negotiated selling price (or estimated net cash proceeds, in the case of no negotiated selling price), and the fair value of the retained businesses of the respective reporting unit based on a combination of market-based valuation techniques, utilizing quoted market prices, comparable publicly reported transactions and projected discounted cash flows. These fair value determinations are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to their use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs. See Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies in these Notes for additional information regarding the fair value hierarchy and see Note 9: Goodwill in these Notes for additional information regarding the impairment of goodwill related to our business divestitures.
