Not one that's in accordance with the standard rules. 

I couldn't manage to reverse-engineer all the economic assumptions that went 
into the item costs (or the tables of costs for new potions & items in 
Advanced Wizard). Besides, some of the factors I could nail down were way off for my 
campaign. 

(2% per week interest??? No. Maybe for extremely speculative ventures (e.g. 
grubstaking an adventuring party) with a huge default rate, but not for 
something like magic item creation, even in a medievalish campaign.)

So I decided to throw out the "book" values and redo the whole thing from 
scratch. My item costs now bear only a coincidental resemblance to the "book" 
values.
