| Max 1 BU, if paid up front | $1,090 |
| 1 BU cost | $1,340 |
| Maximum Bond Costs in $ | $250 |
| Maximum Bond cost in % | 22.9% |

| Number of year Terms | 30 |
| Maximum 1 Bu, payment per year | $240 |
| Maximum Total Interest & Principle payments | $7,200 |
| Maximum Interest rate per year | 17.8% |
So NCSD is looking at a Maximum Interest rate of 17.8% ??????????? (It is an error see below)
Updated interest chart for corrected handout ($240 yearly changed to $120)
| Max 1 BU, if paid up front | $1,090 |
| 1 BU cost | $1,340 |
| Maximum Bond Costs in $ | $250 |
| Maximum Bond cost in % | 22.9% |
| Financed amount | $1,340 |
| Number of year Terms | 30 |
| Maximum 1 Bu, payment per year | $120 |
| Maximum Total Interest & Principle payments | $3,600 |
| Maximum Interest rate per year | 8.2% |
So NCSD is really looking at Maximum Interest rate of 8.2% ?
Yes: 2/9/11 Mike Lebrun General Manager for NCSD :"As I explained, we double counted the debt service on RWC portion of Bond resulting in a number that was twice as high as our conservatively high estimate should be."
