Yes. This is how cost increases work. The cost of doing business went up for them, so the price of their goods will go up to reflect this.

The New York Fed study suggested that in the first eight months of the year, 94 per cent of the cost had been passed through. This fell slightly to 92 per cent in the September to October period and 86 per cent in November.
Raise it to 100%. That would be fair. Why 10% are paid by bystanders?
It can't be that low.
