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. .
