assets associated with the production, warehousing, and sale of line
pipe in (1) your establishments owned before January 1, 2005, and (2)
your establishments acquired on or after January 1, 2005. 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
