SUPPLEMENTAL TESTIMONY OF HERMAN G. ROSEMAN 5 Are you the same Herman G. Roseman whose testimony 6 was previously submitted in this proceeding?
7 A. Yes.
Q. What is the purpose of your present testimony?
A. The purpose of my present testimony is to revise 1Q an aspect of my previous testimony.
11 Q. Please describe this revision.
12, A. In reviewing Staff rebuttal testimony to me in the 13 LILCO proceeding, I found that the Staff witness had un-14 covered an important fact which merited incorporation in 15 my statistical model. What he found was that there was'n
"'interaction effect" between two of the variables in my regression equation. More specifically, the effect of 18 AFDC on the price of a utility's stock depends on how high 19 is the ratio of dividends to cash flow, and vice versa.
2p 'his fact can be reflected in my statistical model by 2l including as a new variahle the product of the AFDC vari-22 able and the dividends/cash-flow variable. I have accord-23 ingly recalculated my regression equation to include this 24 new variable and to exclude the former AFDC variable which 25 .becomes statistically insignificant. Technical details 26 are shown on my revised Schedules 7A and 8A of my exhibit.
k 0
Q. What is the effect on your results of this revision 2 in the statistical model?
3 A. The revised model indicates that, in order to 4 bring Niagara Mohawk's market price =into equality with 5 book value, the required return on equity would be 13.54 6 percent, rather than 13.65 percent. Also, to bring the 7 market price 20 percent above book value would require a 8 'eturn of 15.7 percent, instead of 15.8 percent. Finally, 9 the model indicates that if AFDC were only 15 percent, of 10 net income, Niagara Mohawk's cost of .equity would be ll reduced by 0.9 percentage points.
