(a) In computing cost as used in this subchapter, all variable costs of doing business with the exception of raw products and ingredient costs shall be based on average costs for the dealer in question during the previous 12 months, adjusted to appropriately reflect any significant changes in costs of operation in the averaging period or such shorter time as the licensee may have been in business.

(b) In determining cost for a specific account, the value of any gifts and free services must be included in cost to be averaged for the 12-month period, except where a written contract for a specified term exists between the dealer and the recipient customer, the value of such gifts and free services may be amortized over the remaining term of the contract.

(c) All costs of delivery shall be based on average variable costs for the dealer in question during the previous 12 months and allocated proportionately to each unit of product delivered except where specific delivery cost records are maintained for each method and size of delivery, the actual direct cost of the delivery shall be the basis of the allocation and shall be prorated to each unit of product included in the delivery.
