▶ 54:49 Speaker 5: this is, uh, 0.9612

▶ 54:52 Robb Stewart: and not 0.9621. Um, because 0.9612 is not on the residential factor. And if you're going off the chart that was given to us, that would be, I think, uh, another calculation that they would need to do. So I just wanted to, I'm looking at this 1.72 is 0.9621, right?
