A × B/C
where
- A
- is the amount of that surplus, deficit or tax, as the case may be, as otherwise determined,
- B
- is the surplus entitlement percentage of the corporation immediately before the merger time in respect of the predecessor corporation, and
- C
- is the percentage that would be the surplus entitlement percentage of the corporation immediately after the merger time in respect of the merged affiliate if the merged affiliate’s net surplus were the total of all amounts each of which is the net surplus of a predecessor corporation immediately before the merger time, but

(7.2) If this subsection applies, there is to be included,
(a) at the time (referred to in this subsection and subsections (7.6) and (7.7) and 5908(11) and (12) as the “adjustment time”) that is immediately before the time that is immediately before the time that is immediately before the acquisition time, under subparagraph (v) of the description of B in the definition “exempt surplus” in subsection 5907(1) in computing an acquired affiliate’s exempt surplus or exempt deficit in respect of the corporation, the amount, if any, equal to the lesser of
