with the production, warehousing, and sale of certain steel threaded
rod. If your firm does not maintain some or all of the specific asset
data in the normal course of business, please estimate it based upon
some rational method (such as production, sales, or costs) that is
consistent with your cost allocations in the previous question. Your
finished goods inventory value should reconcile with the inventory
quantity data reported in Part II. Provide data as of the end of your
three most recently completed fiscal years in chronological order from
