本案最后的诉讼时效期间应当如何计算被告B公司以原告的请求已经过了诉讼时效的理由进行抗辩，能否成立
参考答案：本案例中最后的诉讼时效应从1999年9月20日起开始计算。根据民法通则的规定，诉讼时效因提起诉讼、当事人一方提出要求或者同意履行义务而中断，从中断时起，诉讼时效期间重新计算。本案中1999年9月20日A公司曾派人到B公司要求偿还价款，引起诉讼时效的中断，而之后在起诉前，A公司未再向B公司提出要求，所以本案中诉讼时效应从1999年9月20日计算。根据对第1问的回答，本案应当适用2年的诉讼时效，因此A公司在2001年7月5日向人民法院起诉没有超过诉讼时效，被告B公司以原告的请求已经过了诉讼时效为理由进行抗辩不能成立。
