where—
AE is the amount of the additional element;

G has the value determined under paragraph 3(2); and R
is such number greater than zero but less than 1 as may be prescribed.

(3) The alternative formula is—
where—
A and C have the same values as in the calculation made under paragraph 2(1);
Z is such number as may be prescribed; and
Q is the aggregate of—
(a)any amount taken into account by virtue of paragraph 1(3)(a) in calculating the maintenance requirement; and
