“(5.) For the purposes of the last preceding sub-regulation, the formula is—
dollars
where—
A is an amount equal to the rate per day at which active pay is payable under these Regulations to a member upon being appointed or promoted to the like rank or rating as the member holds;

C is an amount equal to the rate per day at which provision allowance is payable to the member; and
D is an amount equal to the rate per day at which uniform allowance is payable to the member.
“(6.) Where the rate of territory allowance payable to a member under sub-regulation (4.) of this regulation is less than Two hundred and ten dollars per year, the rate of territory allowance payable to the member is Two hundred and ten dollars per year.

of that day is greater than the rate at which territory allowance would, but for this sub-regulation, be payable to the member under the regulation inserted in the Naval Financial Regulations by the last preceding sub-regulation, territory allowance is payable to him at that higher rate in lieu of the rate at which it would be payable under the regulation so inserted.
