10 A: Since June, 1974.12 0: Vill you state briefly your training and experience prior to and after becoming associated with the Accounting Staff of the North 14 Carolina Utilities Commission?

15 A: I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Accounting from Belmont Abbey 16 College, Belmont, North Carolina, granted in 1964.My work 17 experience includes three years as a Foreign Corporations Field 18 Auditor with the North Carolina Department of Revenue in Raleigh, 19 North Carolina, during which time I held the positions of 20 Auditor I, II, and III;and two and one-half years both as a 21 Staff Accountant and as Senior Accountant in the'nternal Audit 22'nd Financial Studies Department of Duke Power Company in Charlotte, 23 North Carclina..Since)oining the Commission Staff in January of 24 1972, I have held the positions of Public Utilities Accountant I and 25 Public Utilities Accountant II, and I presently hold the position of 26 Public Utilities Accountant III, which has been designated as 10 13 15 16 Coordinator of the Electric Section of the Accounting Division.My du-ies at the Public Utilities Accountant I level included performance of the less complex audits, investigations, and other special studies of public utilities regulated by this Commission, including the preparation and presentation of testimony and exhibit-during hearings before the Commission.

4 Q: Mr.Hoover, has the Commission Accounting Staff made an exami-5 nation of the books and records of Carolina Power and Light 6 Company (CP&L)?\7 A: Yes, an examination was made for the twelve months ended June, 8 30, 1976.10 Q: Were the results of the investigation summarized into'an exhibit for presentation in this proceeding?

12 A: Yes.13 14 Q: I now hand you a document captioned"Study of Original Cost Net 15 Investment, Revenues, Expenses, and End-of-Period Rates of Return 16 Under Present and Company Proposed Rates", and ask if this 17'ocument was prepared by you or under your supervision for pre-18 sentation.in this proceeding?

19 A: Yes, it was.20 21 Q: Please describe for the Commission that portion of Hoover Exhibit 1 22 which sunaaarizes the North Carolina end-of-period original.cost 23 net investment and net operating income for return.24 A: The summary is presented on Schedule 1.The rates of return have 25 been calculated using the Company's actual capital structure at 26 December 31, 1976, adjusted to include additional deferred income taxes and investment taxcredit arising from pro forma adjust-ments to reflect the related effect of additions to utility plant fn service.The embedded cost of debt and.the preferred dividend requirement are based on the Company's annualized cost at December 31, 1976.The re'turns after Staff accounting and pro form+adjustments and after the Company proposed increase in rates may be summarized as follows: After Accounting And Pro'Forma'Ad ustments 10 item (a)Present Rates Proposed'ates (c)12 Return on original cost net investment Return on common equity 7.69%8.67%10.13%15.47%14 Q: Mr.Hoover, in your calculation of return on common equity, have 15 you in luded cost-free capital arising from the Job Development 16 Investment Tax Credit implemented by the Revenue Act of 1971~17 A: Yes, the unamortized balance of the Job Development Investment l 18 Tax Credit (JDC)was included as common equity, thus, allowing 19 the company to earn the full equity return on the unamortized 20 balance of this cost-free capital (JDC).This treatment is con-21 sistent with the Commission's findings in its Order Setting Rates 22 in the most recent Carolina Power 6 Light Company, General Rate I 23 Case, Doc¹t No.E-2, Sub 264, Order issued February 20, 1976.24 25 Q: Will you please describe and explain the noninvestor supplied 26'ost-free capital included in Schedule 1 of Hoover Exhibit 1?

I a~iC A: Yes.The cost-free capital shown in Column (b), Line 4 represents accumulated deferred income taxes.These deferred taxes result P from normalizing the tax effect of accelerated depreciation and 6 amortization.

3y use of the"normalization accounting concept", the ccmpany reflects, for financial reporting and ratemaking purposes, a greater Federal income tax expense than it actually incurs.For example, the company uses an accelerated method of depreciation to calculate the depreciation deduction in deter-10 12 13 14 15 16 17 19 20 mining its actual income tax liability, but calculates income tax recense for ratemaking purposes by using a depreciation deductian based on the straight-line method of depreciation.

Thus, income tax expense for ratemaking purposes is calculated without giving effect to accelerated depreciation.

The excess of the normalized tax expense based on straight-line depreciation over the actual tax liability based on accelerated depreciation is recorded in the account entitled accumulated deferred income taxes-accelerated depreciation.

Until such time as the actual tax liability based on accelerated depreciation exceeds the book income tax expense based on straight-line depreciation, the company has use of this cost-free capital;In substance, the ratepayer has pa"d in through the rate structure a cost that the company 22 has not incurred and will not incur until such time as stratght-23 line book depreciation exceeds tax depreciation.

24 25 26 Consistent with the Commission's decision in Docket No.E-7, Sub 173, this cost-free capital has been included in the Company's capital structure at zero cost, as shown in Schedule 1 of Hoover Exhibit 1.4 g: What components make up the North Carolina retail original 5 cost net investment7 6 A: As shown in Schedule 2, the original cost net investment is.7 composed of net electric plant in service and net nuclear fuel plus an allowance for working capital.These costs have been adjusted for known changes through December 31, 1976.10 ll Q: Mr.Hoover, how have you determined the Company's working 12 capital requirement'?

13 A: Consistent with the Commission's findings in Dock t No.E-7, 14 Sub 173 and as shown in Schedules 2-4, 2-4a, and 2-4b, I have 15.used the formula method in developing the allowance for working 16 capital.17 18 9: Mr.Hoover, will you please explain Schedule 3 of Hoover Exhibit 1?19 A: Yes, Schedule 3 is a statement of operating income for the test-20 21 year ended June 30, 1976 allocated to the Company's North Carolina retail operations.

-15,-1 by the Staff represents fuel costs included in the Company's base P rates in excess of the fuel expense which the Company would have in-3 curred had Brunswick Unit No.1 been in service throughout the 4 test year.This excess fuel expense would have been returned to the'.Company's customers through operation of the fuel charge rider.8 The Company proposes to increase its base rates by$69,238,676.

In 9 designing the proposed rates instead of including its pro fnrma level of 10 fuel expense in its proposed base rates the Company included fuel expense 11 at the level of 8.5 mills per kwh, which is the same, level included in its present rates.The Company views the fuel charge rider as a part of its]3 rate structure and considers the fuel clause an appropriate means by which 14 to return ro its customers the excess fuel expense of$24,366,296, which]5 under the Company's proposal would be included in revenues produced by 16 the base rates.In substance, the Company is asking the Commission 17 to include in its base rates excess fuel cost of approximately

$24,366,296, 18 and to set the fuel clause base at 8.5 mills per kwh, thereby providing 19 for the return'of the$24,366,296 excess cost included in the base rates.1 20 to its customers throu'gh a negative fuel charge.21 P2 The fuel clause protects the Company from sudden and dramatic P3 increases in the cost of fuel over and above the level included in 24 its base rates.At the same time it protects the customer from 25 sudden and dramatic decreases in the cost of fuel below the level 25 included in the base rates.I do not believe the fuel clause was. 1 ever intended to protect the customer from an excessive level of fuel cost included in the base rates at the time those rates were fixed.Therefore, I recommend that the level of fuel expense'ncluded in the base rates be equal to the pro forma test year 5 level of fuel expense rather than equal to a level of fuel expense 6 in excess of the pro forma test year level as proposed by the Company.Thus, if the Commission finds the Company's pro forma level of fuel expense to be proper, this level of cost (expressed 9 in mill:,'er kwh)should be included in the base rates and the 10 fuel clause base set to reflect this same level of cost (expressed 11 in mills per kwh).If the Commission finds Staff Witness Williams'2 pro forma level of 6.89 mills per kwh to be proper, then this level 13 should be included in the base rates and the fuel clause base set at 6.89 m'lls per kwh.15 16 Q: Do you have any additional comment concerning Hoover Exhibit 1?17 A: Yes..The Commission presently has before it for consideration an amendment to the Federal Power Commission's"Uniform System of 19 Accounts for Licensees and for Natural Gas Companies".

This amend-ment establishes a procedure to be followed in the determination of the rate to be used in computing the Allowance for.Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC).The FPC's stated objective in its proposed 23 ,25 rule was"to establish a method which would give recognition to the interrelationship between capital utilized for ra e case purposes and the capital components of AFUDC in a manner that would permit a utility to achieve a rate of return on its total, utility operations, including its construction program, at approximately the rate which would be allowed in a rate case".The Commission Accounting Staff is in complete accord with this objective as stated by the FPC.However, for rate-making purposes certain items of cost and capital are treated differently by the FPC as compared to the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC).Therefore, if the calculation of AFUDC is to interface with rate-making in North Car'olina, it will be necessary for the NCUC to modify either the FPC AFUDC formula or its own rate-making practices and procedures.

Should the Commission adopt the FPC's AFUDC formula 12 without modification, it will become necessary for me to revise my 13 testimony and exhibits to reflect the related effect of the Commission's 14 decision in this regard.15 16 g: Does this complete your direct testimony?

17 A: Yes, it does.18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Hoover Exhibit 1 BEFORE THE UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA in re CAROLINA POWER 6 LIGHT COMPANY Docket No.E-2, Sub 297 Testimony of Donald R.Hoover End-of-Period Rates of Return Under Present and Compan Proposed Rates Test Year Ended June 30, 1976 (Ad)usted for Known Changes Through December 31, 1976)March 23, 1977 Page 1 of 3 INDEX Item (a)Schedule Number (b)Return on Comnon Equity and Original Cost Net Investment Calculation or Total Common Equity Calculation of Accumulated.Deferred Income Taxes Original Cost Net Investment 1-2 Calculation of Adjustment to Reflect Actual Construction Costs of Brunswick 8'1 at December 31, 1976 2-1 Calculation of Adjustment to Reflect Actual Net Additions to Plant in Service From July 1, 1976 to December 31, 1976 2-2 Calculation of Adjustment to Nuclear Fuel Summary of Working Capital Requirement Material and Supplies Calculation o Cash Working Capital Operating Income Statement Summary of Staff Adjustments to Operating Revenues 2-3 2-4 2-4a 2-4b 3-1 Calculation of Adjustment to Annualize Industrial Revenues to an End-of-Period Level-June 30, 1976 3-la Calculation of Adjustment to Reflect the Annualized Level of Operating Revenues at December 31, 1976 3-lb Calculation of Adjustment to Reflect Revised Weather Normalization 3>>1c Calculation of Adjustment to Reflect Revenue Effect of Engineering Staff's Adjustment to Fuel Expense 3-ld Summary of Staff AdjustmeMs to Operation and Maintenance Expenses 3-2 Calculation of Adjustment to 0&M Expense to Reflect the Related Effect of Company and Staff Revenue Annualization and Weather Normalization Adjustments to June 30, 1976 3 2a Page 2 of 3 INDEX Continued)
