*This amount represents the balance of cost of reproduction new after deducting physical and functional depreciation.

Working capital is $63,400.

The original costs of land and rights-of-way owned and used by the carrier on December 31, 1977 are $170,182 and $2,153,947, respectively.

Reference is made to Appendix 4, Ajax Pipe Line Corporation, 50 Valuation Report 1, for a statement of the methods employed and of the rasons for the differences between the various cost values reported.

In computing a single sum value, the Commission places primary emphasis on two elements of cost, namely cost of reproduction new and original cost to date. These two elements are weighted together based on each one's percentage to the sum of the two. The weighted figure is then depreciated to reflect the value of the property in its present condition by applying a condition percent factor derived from a ratio of cost reproduction new less depreciation value to the cost of reproduction new value. The resultant depreciated value is increased by 6 percent to reflect an amount for going concern. To this increased value an amount is added for the present value of land, rights-of-way and working capital. This final figure is the total single sum value of the carrier's properties that are used and useful for common carrier purposes.

The details respecting the figures here reported are on file in the valuation records of the Commission. These details are referred to for greater particularity as to the matters herein stated.

The Board finds:

1. After careful consideration of all facts herein contained, including appreciation, depreciation, going-concern value, and all other matters which appear to have a bearing upon the values here reported, the value, pursuant to Section 19a of the Interstate Commerce Act, as of December 31, 1977, of the property owned and used by the carrier for common carrier purposes is $34,798,700.

2. No other values or elements of value to which specific sums can now be ascribed are found to exist.

The Board orders:

1. The property owned and used by the carrier as of December 31, 1977, is hereby valued at $34,798,700. On or before 30 days from the date of service of this order, any person entitled to do so under Section 19a of the Interstate Commerce Act may file with the Secretary of the FERC written protest concerning this valuation, such protest to specify in detail the findings concerning which protest is made and the reasons for such protest.

2. If no protest is filed within the period specified and if no petition for leave to intervene has been filed as provided by the notice published by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on October 12, 1978, 43 Fed. Reg. 47000, and the proceeding is not reopened for any other reason, these findings will be the findings of the FERC, and the valuation as found will be final.
