• TRUE INTEREST COST (TIC)
  
  The TIC is a method of calculating an issuer's borrowing interest cost, which considers the present value of the debt service payments. It is defined as the rate necessary to discount the debt service payments, compounding semi-annually, to the purchase price received by the issuer at the time of bond closing.
