19 percent (50%) of the apportionment factor. The apportionment
19

20 factors shall be computed as follows:
20

21  a. The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of

21

22                 which is the average value of the taxpayer's real and

18

19                 is valued at eight times the net annual rental

15

16 has been attributed to Oklahoma this state, the elimination,

18 in the weight of such prescribed factors. Provided, however, that
18

19 any such variance from such prescribed factors which has the effect
19

20 of increasing the portion of net income attributable to Oklahoma

21 this state must not be inherently arbitrary, and application of the
