The purchase contract contained the following terms: the price for the 10,000 hats is $50,000.00; the merchandise may be resold only in New York; and the buyer indicates that it will spend $5,000.00 on his own account to promote the sale of the merchandise. No selling commission, assist, royalty, or license fee is involved. Is transaction value the proper method of appraisement and, if so, what is the transaction value?
