(iii) Each city's or town's computed payment shall be the sum of the following two (2) products. The first product shall be the city's or town's population multiplied by the difference between the per capita potential statewide, incorporated ad valorem tax revenue and the city's or town's per capita potential city or town ad valorem tax revenue. The second product shall be the city's or town's population multiplied by the difference between the per capita potential statewide, incorporated sales and use tax revenue and the city's or town's per capita potential city or town sales and use tax revenue;
(iv) To the extent insufficient funds are available to provide full payments to all cities and towns under paragraph (iii) of this subsection, each payment shall be proportionately reduced by the ratio of the total payments calculated for all cities and towns under paragraph (iii) of this subsection to the available funds under paragraph (ii) of this subsection;
(v) In the event the computed payment for a city or town under paragraph (iii) of this subsection results in a negative number, no payment shall be made;

(iv) "Per capita potential statewide, incorporated ad valorem tax revenue" means the total assessed value within all cities and towns as determined by the department for calendar year 2004 multiplied by eight (8) mills, divided by the population residing within the corporate limits of all cities and towns within the state;
(v) "Per capita potential statewide, incorporated sales and use tax revenue" means the total statewide sales and use taxes collected from the taxes imposed under W.S. 39-15-104(a) and (b) and under W.S. 39-16-104(a) and (b) as determined by the department for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2004 and ending June 30, 2005 divided by two (2) and multiplied by the proportion that population residing inside the corporate limits of all cities and towns bears to the total population of the state, divided by the population residing within the corporate limits of all cities and towns within the state; and
(vi) "Population" means the population as determined by the most recent decennial census as periodically updated by the bureau of the census.
