9

10 beginning each January 1 thereafter shall be computed using the same
10

11 requirements, other than the five percent (5%) amount to compute the

19

20 factors shall be computed as follows:

21

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

19

20 of increasing the portion of net income attributable to Oklahoma

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