following checklist for an arithmetical check for each column:
o Column 1 = Column 2 + Column 3 + Column 4 for lines 1-7, 9-12, 14-24, 52-59, and 61-93.
o Line 1 for columns 1-4 must be equal to line 19 of the previous month.
o Line 1 Column 5 must be equal to line 30 of the previous month.
o Line 1 Column 6 must be equal to line 40 of the previous month.
o Line 1 + line 2 = line 3.
o Line 3 + line 4 - line 5 - line 6 = line 19 for columns 1-4.
o Line 3 + line 4 - line 5 - line 6 for column 5 = line 30.
o Line 3 + line 4 - line 5 - line 6 for column 6 = line 40.
o Line 4A must be less than or equal to line 4.
o Line 6 = line 9 + line 10 + line 11.
o Line 6 = line 14 + line 15 + line 16 + line 17 + line 18 for column 1-4.
o Line 6, column 5 = line 26 + line 27 + line 28 + line 29.
o Line 6, column 6 = line 36 + line 37 + line 38 + line 39.
o Line 7 must be greater than or equal to line 6.
o Line 9 + line 11 for column 6 must be less than or equal to the sum of columns 1, 2, and 3 for
line 47.

o Line 49 (column 4) must be less than or equal to line 49 (column 2) + line 49 (column 3).
o Line 50 (column 4) must be less than or equal to the sum of line 50 (column 2) + line 50
(column 3).
o Line 51 (column 4) must be less than or equal to the sum of line 51 (column 2) + line 51
(column 3).

o Line 59 must be greater than or equal to line 58.
o Line 61 = line 63 + line 64 + line 65.
o Line 62 must be greater than or equal to 500 times the sum of lines 63 and 65 in Column (5)
only (each case must involve at least $500 per case).
o Line 66 must be greater than or equal to line 65 (must award at least $1 per case).
o Line 68 = line 69 + line 70 + line 71.
