The adjustment shall be the product of a percentage multiplied by all commodity rates. The percentage is calculated as follows:

    Total Dollar Amount of Adjustment = Σ(A;sub    \sub;×B;sub    \sub;) + C
    _____ _____
    Total Commodity Revenue = Σ(D k ×E k ) + Σ(D;sub    \sub; x E;sub    \sub;)
