Note: PE RVUs in row 27 may not match Addendum B due to rounding.											
											
*The direct adj = [current pe rvus * CF * avg dir pct]/[sum direct inputs] = [step2]/[step3]											
											
**The indirect adj = [current pe rvus * avg ind pct]/[sum of ind allocators] = [step9]/[step10]											
											
Note: The use of any particular conversion factor (CF) in Table XX to illustrate the PE Calculation has no effect on the resulting RVUs.											
											
Note: The budget neutrality adjustment includes an adjustment for the equipment utilization change.
