20 factors shall be computed as follows:

15

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

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
