Divide the result of step 1 by the result of step 2.

Step 4.

Multiply the result of step 3 in this method statement by the result of step 4 in the method statement in section 820-195.

Dividing 3 by 4 (through applying steps 2 and 3) and multiplying the result by $75 million (which is the result of step 4 of the method statement in section 820-195) equals $56.25 million. As the average value of the company ' s associate entity excess amount is $4 million, the worldwide gearing debt amount is therefore $60.25 million.
