OF A Says
Tailor Made
For Alaska
A simplification of the regula
tion governing the price of goods
brought into Alaska are incorpo
rated in Revised Maximum Price
Regulation 194, effective Febru
ary 28, according to announce
ment made by the Alaska Office
of Price Administration.
In effect, MPR 194, tailor made
regulation for Alsaka, froze the
amount of the seller’s dollar
markup above direct cost of goods
sold in the month preceding Pearl
Harbor. Revised MPR 194 re
places MPR 194 without chang
ing its basic pricing or other pro
visions.
The revision gives sellers the
choice of adding either nine
tenths of their base period per
centage markup or their base pe
riod dollar-and-cent markup to
current landed cost. An addition
al feature is that sellers may now
calculate their ceiling price for
goods not handled before the war
by adding to their cost nine
tenths of the base period per
centage markup for “most com
parable” commodities. A third
change is one that reduces mate
rially the filing requirements for
the merchants.
Although the revised regula
tion takes the place of MPR 194,
a seller does not have to refigure
ais ceiling prices if they were
properly established under the
aid regulation. If he chooses, he
nay redetermine his prices un
ler the percentage markup for
nula, but if his resulting ceiling
price on any commodity differs
from the price previously filed, :
lie seller must then file a new ,
ist showing the new ceiling price
or such commodities.
