(b)

the carbon price for year X differs from the carbon price for the year X-1,

the Agency must convert the fixed-price carbon credits purchased at the carbon price for year X-1 into such number of fixed‑price carbon credits as if they had been purchased in year X, by applying the formula

where —

R is the number of fixed-price carbon credits in the account that were purchased at the carbon price for year X-1;
