$A R I_{A C Y e a r} =$ 24,437 $A R I_{P A Y e a r} =$ 25,000	$P r A R I_{A C} = \frac{A R I_{A C Y e a r}}{A R I_{P A Y e a r}}$	(1)	0.9775
$A R I_{A C Y e a r} =$ 24,437 $P r A R I_{A C}$ = 0.9775	$a A R I_{A C Y e a r} = \frac{A R I_{A C Y e a r}}{P r A R I_{A C}}$	(2)	24,999.5
$R V P_{R S V} =$ 291 $R V P_{A l l} =$ 2,425	$P r R V P_{R S V} = \frac{R V P_{R S V}}{R V P_{A l l}}$	(3)	0.12
$a A R I_{A C Y e a r}$ = 24,999.5 $P r R V P_{R S V}$ = 0.12	$R S V_{A C Y e a r} = a A R I_{A C Y e a r} * P r R V P_{R S V}$	(4)	2,999.94
$R S V_{A C Y e a r}$ = 2999.94 $P o p_{A C} =$ 974,362	$R S V_{A C B u r d e n Y e a r} = \frac{R S V_{A C Y e a r}}{P o p_{A C}} x 100, 000$	(5)	307.8 ≈ 308 per 100,000
