Heading: Sun Valley Is Entitled To Prejudgment Interest.

Text: Prejudgment interest is available only when the damages are liquidated or are ascertainable by mere mathematical process. Doolittle v. Meridian Joint Sch. Dist. No. 2, 128 Idaho 805, 811, 919 P.2d 334, 340 (1996). In the present case, the district court determined factually that [a]s of August 9, 1995, MVF owed to SVF under contracts 9415 and 9418 an aggregate of $234,070.44. Thus, we hold that Sun Valley's damages were liquidated, entitling Sun Valley to an award of prejudgment interest. The problem, however, is that the district court also noted that it was admitted that MVF owes SVF $236,-904.44. Therefore, we cannot determine from the record which amount was ascertainable by at least August 9, 1995. Thus, we remand the matter to the district court for a determination of the liquidated amount, the date it became ascertainable, and a determination of the amount of prejudgment interest owed to Sun Valley.
