So what exactly is fair market value? Is it:
  • Wholesale Price?
  • Retail Price?
  • Raw material Price?
  • Craigslist Price?
  • "I'll sell this to your team for $1 because we already wrote this off of our books and it has no residual financial value since its been sitting on this shelf idle for 10 years?"
Honestly, there is quite a bit of wiggle room on the BOM value. You can pro-rate the cost based off of what you actually use, not the bulk shipment and scrap.
