          To determine gross receipts, Agent Brown first allocated cost of            
          goods sold between guns and other goods.  He determined that each           
          beginning and ending inventory figure for 1990 through 1993                 
          consisted of 28.2 percent guns and 71.8 percent other goods                 
          (i.e., this allocation was consistent with petitioners' 1993                
          inventory records).  He accepted as correct the purchase amounts            
          from Faw's work papers, used information received from vendors to           
          determine the amount of purchases attributable to gun purchases,            
          and subtracted gun purchases from total purchases to determine              
          the amount of purchases attributable to other goods.  Agent Brown           
          did not have sufficient information to categorize the 1990 and              
          1991 purchases.  After allocating cost of goods sold between guns           
          and other goods, Agent Brown applied the gross profit percentages           
          to determine gross receipts.  For 1992 and 1993, he applied a               
          gross profit of 15 percent to the cost of guns (i.e., he                    
          multiplied cost by 118 percent) and 40 percent to the cost of               
          other goods (i.e., he multiplied cost by 167 percent).  He did              
          not have sufficient information to allocate between the cost of             
          guns and the cost of other goods sold in 1990 and 1991, so he
