AS 43.50.760. Determination of Cost.

(a) In determining actual cost to the wholesaler or retailer, a court shall consider as establishing the cost evidence tending to show that a wholesaler or retailer complained against under a provision of AS 43.50.710 - 43.50.849 purchased the cigarettes involved in the complaint at a fictitious price, or upon terms, in a manner, or under invoices, in a manner that conceals the true cost, discounts, or terms of purchase. The court shall also consider evidence of the normal, customary, and prevailing terms and discounts in connection with other sales of a similar nature in the state.
(b) The presumptive actual cost of cigarettes as determined by the department under AS 43.50.800 is considered competent evidence in a court action or proceeding as tending to prove actual cost to the wholesaler or retailer complained against. A party against whom the presumptive actual cost as determined by the department is introduced in evidence has the right to offer evidence tending to prove any inaccuracy of the presumptive actual cost or any statement of facts that would impair its probative value.
