3
23-CAT-026
City of Marcus and Marcus Community Golf Club,Inc
follows: first, the total amount spent to complete the project is subtracted from the total Project Cost
listed in Exhibit B to determine the change in Project Cost. Second,the change in Project Cost is divided
by the total Project Cost listed in Exhibit B. Third, this percentage is multiplied by the original Grant
award.The product is the amount of the Grant award that Recipients shall return to IEDA.
Numbers from Exhibit B of the Agreement
• The funded project had a total project cost listed in Exhibit B of$1,000,000
• The funded project had a total Grant funds listed in Exhibit B of$200,000
Completed project numbers

Calculation of the amount to be returned

($1,000,000).This amount equals$100,000.
2. $100,000 divided by$1,000,000 equals 10%.
3. 10%multiplied by$200,000 equals$20,000.Recipients shall return$20,000 to IEDA.

23-CAT-026
City of Marcus and Marcus Community Golf Club,Inc

• Grant funds: $200,000
• Local Match: $944,000

Calculation of the reimbursement ratio
• The difference between the total Project Cost($1,144,000)and the in-kind allowance($236,000)
equals$908,000.
• The Grant funds($200,000)divided by$908,000 equals 22%.
• The reimbursement ratio of Grant funds is 22%.
(c) METHOD OF PAYMENT Prior to reimbursement, Recipients shall specify the account to receive
funds.
