How does the government determine the FET on a firearm? If Bushmaster or Colt manufactures a firearm, are they taxed on what the manufacture states is the retail price or wholesale?

Is that on the wholesale price? For example: they say the weapon should wholedale for $800 but then add $88 for FET and now the wholsale price becomes $888?

thanks,
Ron
