significant accounting estimates for a complete description of our significant accounting policies , please see note one to the consolidated financial statements appearing on pages 35 through 37 in item eight of this report .our significant accounting estimates are those that have meaningful impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations .these poli- cies include our accounting for trade and consumer promotion activities ; goodwill and other intangible asset impairments ; income taxes ; and pension and other postretirement benefits .trade and consumer promotion activities we report sales net of certain coupon and trade promotion costs .the consumer coupon costs recorded as a reduction of sales are based on the estimated redemption value of those coupons , as determined by historical patterns of coupon redemption and consideration of current market conditions such as competitive activity in those product categories .the trade promotion costs include payments to customers to perform merchandising activities on our behalf , such as advertising or in-store displays , discounts to our list prices to lower retail shelf prices , and payments to gain distribution of new products .the cost of these activi- ties is recognized as the related revenue is recorded , which generally precedes the actual cash expenditure .the recog- nition of these costs requires estimation of customer participation and performance levels .these estimates are made based on the quantity of customer sales , the timing and forecasted costs of promotional activities , and other factors .differences between estimated expenses and actual costs are normally insignificant and are recognized as a change in management estimate in a subsequent period .our accrued trade and consumer promotion liability was $ 339 million as of may 28 , 2006 , and $ 283 million as of may 29 , 2005 .our unit volume in the last week of each quarter is consis- tently higher than the average for the preceding weeks of the quarter .in comparison to the average daily shipments in the first 12 weeks of a quarter , the final week of each quarter has approximately two to four days 2019 worth of incre- mental shipments ( based on a five-day week ) , reflecting increased promotional activity at the end of the quarter .this increased activity includes promotions to assure that our customers have sufficient inventory on hand to support major marketing events or increased seasonal demand early in the next quarter , as well as promotions intended to help achieve interim unit volume targets .if , due to quarter-end promotions or other reasons , our customers purchase more product in any reporting period than end-consumer demand will require in future periods , our sales level in future reporting periods could be adversely affected. .
