The property that exchanging the ordering of maths operations makes no difference to final results.
Unobservable valuation inputs are valuation inputs:

====Multiplication and addition are commutative====


The commutative property of multiplication means that exchanging the ordering of the items multiplied together makes no difference to the final result.

=====Example 1=====
[[Category:Accounting,_tax_and_regulation]]
3 x 4 gives the same result as 4 x 3.
 
 
In the first case:
 
3 x 4 = '''12'''
 
 
In the second case:
 
4 x 3 = '''12'''
 
 
 
=====Example 2=====
The commutative property also applies to addition.
 
4 + 5 gives the same final result as 5 + 4.
 
 
Both expressions give the result 9.
 
 
====Division and subtraction are not commutative====
 
The commutative property does not apply to division. The order of items being divided does make a difference to the final result.
 
=====Example 3=====
20 / 4 gives a different result from 4 / 20.
 
 
In the first case:
 
20 / 4 = '''5'''
 
 
In the second case:
 
4 / 20 = '''0.2'''
 
 
 
=====Example 4=====
The commutative property does not apply to subtraction.
 
5 - 3 gives a different result from 3 - 5.
 
 
The result of the first expression is '''+2'''.
 
The second expression produces '''-2'''.
 
 
 
=====Multiplication and addition are also associative=====
The [[associative]] and commutative properties apply both to multiplication and addition.
 
For this reason, they are sometimes mixed up, but they are different.

Fair value accounting.

Unobservable valuation inputs are valuation inputs:

  1. For which market data are not available and
  2. That are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
