The following excerpt is from U.S. v. 50.50 Acres of Land, 931 F.2d 1349 (9th Cir. 1991):
The determination of a reasonable rate of interest is a finding of fact and should be disturbed only if clearly erroneous. United States v. 429.59 Acres of Land, 612 F.2d 459, 464 (9th Cir.1980); United States v. Blankinship, 543 F.2d 1272, 1274 (9th Cir.1976). However, as stated earlier, a district court's determinations on mixed questions of law and fact that implicate constitutional rights are reviewed de novo. Wood v. Sunn, 865 F.2d 982, 986 (9th Cir.1988).
