Fair value measurement of financial instruments
The fair values shown are computed using market in-
formation available at the balance sheet date, on the
basis of prices quoted by the contract partners or using
appropriate measurement methods, e. g. discounted cash
flow models. In the latter case, amounts were discounted
at 31 December 2015 on the basis of the following inter-
est rates:
Interest rates taken from interest rate curves were ad-
justed, where necessary, to take account of the credit
quality and risk of the underlying financial instrument.
Derivative financial instruments are measured at their
fair value. The fair values of derivative financial instru-
ments are determined using measurement models, as a
consequence of which there is a risk that the amounts
calculated could differ from realisable market prices on
disposal. Observable financial market price spreads are
taken into account in the measurement of derivative
financial instruments. The supply of data to the model
used to calculate fair values also takes account of tenor
and currency basis spreads, thus helping to minimise
differences between the carrying amounts of the in-
struments and the amounts that can be realised on the
financial markets on their disposal. In addition, the
Group’s own default risk and that of counterparties is
taken into account in the form of credit default swap
contracts which have matching terms and which can
be observed on the market.
Commodity derivatives were measured on the basis of
the following quoted market prices:
Financial instruments measured at fair value are allo-
cated to different measurement levels in accordance
with IFRS 13. This includes financial instruments that
are
1. measured at their fair values in an active market for
identical financial instruments (Level 1),
2. measured at their fair values in an active market for
comparable financial instruments or using measure-
ment
models whose main input factors are based on
observable market data (Level 2), or
3. using input factors not based on observable market
data (Level 3).
The following table shows the amounts allocated to
each measurement level at the end of the reporting
period:
