• The current years base rate; • Adjustments for inflationary cost increases incurred during the current rate period; • Inflationary cost increases projected for the coming rate period; • Retroactive charges for operator deficiencies in expected revenues or retroactive credits for over-collection of expected revenue during the current year; and • Changes in costs related to programming, channel additions, copyrights, and regulatory fees.It is important to note that the Maximum Permitted Rate could either increase as a result of this calculation or be adjusted downward if the current rate is too high to meet the expected costs of the new period. The cable operator may select a rate lower than the maximum allowed under this methodology, but under no circumstances may it exceed the result of this rate calculation. Form 1205 — This form exhibits the calculation of equipment and installation charges, which are based on a sampling of the cable operators company-wide costs.
