(1) unified municipality, the sum of the amounts calculated under (2) and (3) of this subsection, rounded to the nearest dollar;

(2) borough, the basic amount, rounded to the nearest dollar;

(3) city and eligible reserve, one-fourth of the basic amount, rounded to the nearest dollar;

(4) eligible community in the unorganized borough, one-twelfth of the basic amount, rounded to the nearest dollar;
