is no evidence that any negotiation whatsoever is
permitted regarding the price of the remanufactured
part. The customer must pay the stated or list price
of the remanufactured part, even if Consolidated knows
that the customer will not provide a core.
We have found the following facts on the instant record:
At the time a customer purchased a remanufactured automobile part
from Consolidated, (1) that customer became obligated to pay
Consolidated the remanufactured automobile part sales price
which consisted of the exchange amount and the core amount and
which, along with the exchange amount and the core amount,
Consolidated reflected on the remanufactured automobile part
sales invoice that it generated for that sale and (2) Consoli-
dated offered to purchase from that customer a customer core
corresponding to that part for the customer core purchase offer
amount. There was no obligation on the part of that customer to
deliver a customer core to Consolidated as part of that sale.
The remanufactured automobile part sales price, the customer core
purchase offer amount, and the core credit amount were determined
on the basis of market-related factors, including supply and
demand. Consolidated accounted for each remanufactured
automobile part that it sold to a customer by making entries
increasing (1) "sales (exchange amount)" by the exchange amount
that was part of the remanufactured automobile part sales price
for each such part, (2) "sales (core amount)" by the core amount
that was part of that price for each such part, and (3) "customer
account receivable" by that price for each such part. If a
