the amounts referred to in 14.9 paid by LSCFN for that calendar year.

Assistance:

YEAR 1: (TxY/365)x100% =____

YEAR 2: (T x X/365) x 100% + (T x Y/365) x 90% =____

YEAR 4: (T x X/365) x 80% + (T x Y/365) x 70% =____

YEAR 5: (T x X/365) x 70% + (T x Y/365) x 60% =____

YEAR 6: (T x X/365) x 60% + (T x Y/365) x 50% =____

YEAR 7: (T x X/365) x 50% + (T x Y/365) x 40% =____

YEAR 8: (T x X/365) x 40% + (T x Y/365) x 30% =____

YEAR 9: (T x X/365) x 30% + (T x Y/365) x 20% =____

YEAR 10: (T x X/365) x 20% + (T x Y/365) x 10% =___
