(1) Multiplying the expected value (see paragraph (c) of this section) of the trees, bushes, or vines immediately before the qualifying disaster event by the 2017 WHIP factor or WHIP+ factor specified in § 760.1511(b);

(2) Subtracting the actual value (see paragraph (d) of this section) of the trees, bushes, or vines immediately after the qualifying disaster event from the result of paragraph (b)(1) of this section;

(5) Subtracting the value of any secondary use or salvage value from the result of paragraph (b)(4) of this section.

(d) Actual value is determined by:

(1) Multiplying the number of trees, bushes, or vines damaged by a qualifying disaster event by the damage factor;

(2) Adding the result of paragraph (d)(1) of this section and the number of trees, bushes, or vines destroyed by a qualifying disaster event;

(3) Multiplying the result of paragraph (d)(2) of this section by the price;  and
