(Amdt. 1) SEC. 3 How wholesalers' maximum prices are fixed-(a) General instruction. Each wholesaler's maximum price for the kind of frozen fish or seafood listed is found by adding to his "net cost" defined in the following paragraph (b), the mark-up defined in the following paragraph (c) for the class of wholesaler and for the kind of service he performs as specified in the following paragraph (d). (b) Net cost. The wholesaler's "net cost" is the amount he paid for the particular item of frozen fish or seafood delivered at his customary receiving point, less all discounts allowed him except the discount for prompt payment, and excluding any charge for local trucking and unloading. Any wholesaler who buys frozen fish and seafood and processes them by a style of processing for which a price is fixed in section 14, determines his "net cost" by adding the difference between the processor's price set in section 14 for the frozen fish in the condition in which they are purchased by the wholesaler and the price set in section 14 for the fish in the condition they are after processing by the wholesaler to the amount he paid for the particular item of frozen fish or seafood delivered at his customary receiving point, less all discounts allowed him except the discount for prompt payment, and excluding any charge for local trucking and unloading. (c) Wholesaler's mark-up for different classes of sales. Mark-up is the percentage over net cost set forth hereinafter for each class of wholesaler or the type of sale involved. To obtain the selling price, multiply the net cost |
