A A company may apply its base period markup to the inventoried cost of imported items plus transportation costs of such items. Since the co6t of items added to a company's inventory may vary to reflect the revaluation of the dollar, there may be like items of inventory which differ in price, depending upon whether the company seeks to pass through the costs it paid as a result of the revaluation of the dollar. Tier I firms must prenotify before raising prices to reflect these revaluation cbsts.
