> III-10 below.

III-9. **[Inputs from related firms at cost]{.underline}.\--**All
intercompany profit on inputs [purchased from related
parties]{.underline} that is eliminated pursuant to formal financial

reported to the Commission in question III-11 (*i.e.*, costs reported in
question III-11, to the extent that they reflect inputs purchased from
related parties, should only reflect the related party's cost and not
include an associated profit component). Reasonable methods for

from related parties are acceptable.

costs associated with inputs purchased from related parties?
