For the year ended December 31, 2016, we transferred approximately $300 million of assets from Level 1 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and approximately $255 million of assets from Level 2 to Level 1 ($628 million of assets from Level 1 to Level 2 and $403 million from Level 2 to Level 1 during 2015). These transfers were based on changes in market activity for the underlying instruments.

Fair Value Option for Loans Receivable

As of December 31, 2016 and December 26, 2015, the fair value of our loans receivable for which we elected the fair value option did not significantly differ from the contractual principal balance based on the contractual currency.

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Our non-marketable equity investments; marketable equity method investments; and non-financial assets, such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment; are recorded at fair value only if an impairment is recognized.

We classified non-marketable equity investments as Level 3. Impairments recognized on non-marketable equity investments held as of December 31, 2016 were $153 million in 2016 ($160 million in 2015 on non-marketable equity investments held as of December 26, 2015 and $128 million in 2014 on non-marketable equity investments held as of December 27, 2014).

The carrying amount and fair value of short-term debt exclude drafts payable. The fair value of our 2009 and 2005 convertible debentures is determined using discounted cash flow models with observable market inputs, and takes into consideration variables such as interest rate changes, comparable instruments, subordination discount, and credit-rating changes.
