Grain warehouse keepers; fund assessments. 126.30(1)(1)
General. A contributing grain warehouse keeper shall pay an annual fund assessment for each license year. The assessment equals $20 or the sum of the following, whichever is greater, unless the department by rule specifies a different assessment:
126.30(1)(a)
(a) The grain warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment. The current ratio assessment for a license year is the amount, expressed as dollars, equal to the grain warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment rate under
sub. (2) multiplied by the number of bushels that the grain warehouse keeper reports under
s. 126.26 (2) (e) or
(10).
126.30(1)(b)
(b) The warehouse keeper's debt to equity ratio assessment. The debt to equity ratio assessment for each license year is the amount, expressed as dollars, equal to the grain warehouse keeper's debt to equity ratio assessment rate under
sub. (4) multiplied by the number of bushels that the warehouse keeper reports under
s. 126.26 (2) (e) or
(10).
126.30(2)
(2) Current ratio assessment rate. A grain warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment rate is calculated, at the beginning of the license year, as follows:
126.30(2)(a)
(a) If the grain warehouse keeper has filed an annual financial statement under
s. 126.28 and that financial statement shows a current ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0, the grain warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment rate equals the greater of zero or the current ratio assessment factor in
sub. (3) (a) multiplied by an amount determined as follows:
126.30(2)(a)3.
3. Multiply the amount determined under
subd. 2. by negative one.
126.30(2)(a)8.
8. Add the amount determined under
subd. 4. to the amount determined under
subd. 7.
126.30(2)(b)
(b) If the grain warehouse keeper has filed an annual financial statement under
s. 126.28 and that financial statement shows a current ratio of less than 1.25 to 1.0, but greater than 1.0 to 1.0, the grain warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment rate equals the current ratio assessment factor in
sub. (3) (b) multiplied by the following amount:
126.30(2)(b)3.
3. Multiply the amount determined under
subd. 2. by negative one.
126.30(2)(b)8.
8. Add the amount determined under
subd. 4. to the amount determined under
subd. 7.
126.30(2)(c)
(c) If the grain warehouse keeper has filed an annual financial statement under
s. 126.28 and that financial statement shows a current ratio of less than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0, the warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment rate equals the current ratio assessment factor in
sub. (3) (b) multiplied by 120.81376.
126.30(2)(d)
(d) If the grain warehouse keeper has not filed an annual financial statement under
s. 126.28, the warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment rate equals the current ratio assessment factor in
sub. (3) (b) multiplied by 5.71235.
126.30(3)
(3) Current ratio assessment factor. 126.30(3)(a)(a) A grain warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment factor under
sub. (2) (a) is 0.00003 except that, for the grain warehouse keeper's 5th or higher consecutive full license year as a contributing grain warehouse keeper, the grain warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment factor is zero.
126.30(3)(b)
(b) A grain warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment factor under
sub. (2) (b) to
(d) is 0.000045 except that, for the grain warehouse keeper's 5th or higher consecutive full license year as a contributing grain warehouse keeper, the grain warehouse keeper's current ratio assessment factor is 0.000036.
126.30(4)
(4) Debt to equity ratio assessment rate. A grain warehouse keeper's debt to equity ratio assessment rate is calculated, at the beginning of the license year, as follows:
126.30(4)(a)
(a) If the grain warehouse keeper has filed an annual financial statement under
s. 126.28 and that financial statement shows positive equity and a debt to equity ratio of not more than 4.0 to 1.0, the grain warehouse keeper's debt to equity ratio assessment rate equals the greater of zero or the debt to equity ratio assessment factor in
sub. (5) (a) multiplied by the following amount:
126.30(4)(a)7.
7. Add the amount determined under
subd. 3. to the amount determined under
subd. 6.
126.30(4)(b)
(b) If the grain warehouse keeper has filed an annual financial statement under
s. 126.28 and that financial statement shows a debt to equity ratio of greater than 4.0 to 1.0 but less than 5.0 to 1.0, the grain warehouse keeper's debt to equity ratio assessment rate equals the debt to equity ratio assessment factor in
sub. (5) (b) multiplied by the following amount:
126.30(4)(b)7.
7. Add the amount determined under
subd. 3. to the amount determined under
subd. 6.
126.30(4)(c)
(c) If the grain warehouse keeper has filed an annual financial statement under
s. 126.28 and that financial statement shows negative equity or a debt to equity ratio of at least 5.0 to 1.0, the grain warehouse keeper's debt to equity ratio assessment rate equals the debt to equity ratio assessment factor in
sub. (5) (b) multiplied by 86.8244.
126.30(4)(d)
(d) If the grain warehouse keeper has not filed an annual financial statement under
s. 126.28, the grain warehouse keeper's debt to equity ratio assessment rate equals the debt to equity ratio assessment factor in
sub. (5) (b) multiplied by 8.77374.
126.30(5)
(5) Debt to equity ratio assessment factor. 126.30(5)(a)(a) A grain warehouse keeper's debt to equity ratio assessment factor under
sub. (4) (a) is 0.0000125, except that it is zero for the grain warehouse keeper's 5th or higher consecutive full license year as a contributing grain warehouse keeper.
126.30(5)(b)
(b) A grain warehouse keeper's debt to equity ratio assessment factor under
sub. (4) (b) to
