Multiply “A” by 0.15 | 19,506,213 |
+ See chapter 19 for defined terms. | | |

Subtract “C” Note: number must be same as shown in Step 3 | 7,320,000 |
Total [“A” x 0.15] – “C” | 12,186,213 [Note: this is the remaining placement capacity under rule 7.1] |

Step 2: Calculate 10% of “A” |
“D” | 0.10 Note: this value cannot be changed |
Multiply “A” by 0.10 | 13,004,142 |
