Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the judgment of the trial court. However, we agree with appellant that there are imperfections in his sentence. The present sentence does not specify the amount of credit for time served as Section 921.161(1), Florida Statutes (1977), requires. Knight v. State, 349 So. 2d 232 (Fla.2d DCA 1977). Moreover, the phrase “at hard labor” in the sentence is improper. Knight v. State, supra. Therefore, we remand the case for correction of the sentence, and appellant need not be present at that time.

Gulf Solar, Inc. v. Westfall, 447 So. 2d 363 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984)…two issues in the cross-appeal. We find no error in the trial court’s decision not to award prejudgment interest to Westfall. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. v. Carre, 436 So. 2d 227 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983); Town of Longboat Key v. Carl E. Widell & Son, 362 So. 2d 719 (Fla. 2d DCA 1978). The cases cited to us by Westfall are not applicable to the present situation. The remaining point raised in the cross-appeal concerns the trial court’s failure to award attorney’s fees to Westfall. Westfall sought attorney’s fe…

Broward Cnty. v. Sattler, 400 So. 2d 1031 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981)…). Moreover, we note that a claim is only unliqui-dated for purposes or prejudgment interest when the amount of damages cannot be computed except on conflicting evidence, inferences, and interpretations. Town of Longboat Key v. Carl E. Widell & Son, 362 So. 2d 719 (Fla. 2d DCA 1978). In the instant case, the right to recovery was contested but there was no dispute as to the amount of the compensation sought. Thus, the claim was liquidated and, in contract actions, it is proper to allow interest at the legal…
