   (c)   The estimate of military related spending per person required in Section 107.01 (b) shall be calculated by dividing the total proposed military related expenditure as calculated in Section 107.03 (b) by the population of the United States of America, according to the most recently published decennial census;
   (d)   The estimate of military related spending allocated to Cuyahoga County shall be calculated by multiplying the per person estimate calculated in Section 107.03 (c) by the population of Cuyahoga County according to the most recently published decennial census;
   (e)   The estimate of the portion of the Federal funds budget that is military related required in Section 107.01 (c) shall be calculated by dividing the total proposed military related expenditure as calculated in Section 107.03 (b) by the total proposed Federal funds expenditure as listed in memorandum at the end of Table 15 of the Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 1986, and converting the ratio to a percentage expressed to the nearest tenth of one percent (0.10%);

State data pro- rated based on population may be used when county data is not available. All totals for tax collections shall be based on the same collection year;
   (h)   The estimated allocation to military related spending for each tax shall be obtained by multiplying the tax collected in each category by the portion of the Federal funds budget that is military related, as calculated in Section 107.03 (c);
   (i)   The estimated allocation to military related spending per person for each tax shall be obtained by dividing each of the estimated allocations for Cuyahoga County obtained in Section 107.03 (h) by the population of Cuyahoga County, according to the most recently published decennial census.
