Bell told it can't earn profit from equipment fund
The Iowa Utilities Board ruled Northwestern Bell Telephone Co may not earn a profit on revenues collected to replace equipment. The decision limits rate base impact from a 1984 $88.5 million rate increase request, denying a return on the unamortized depreciation shortfall while allowing recovery of $59 million. The dispute arose after court remands and board hearings on depreciation and rate of return.
