To establish the amount of $100,000 mentioned in the first paragraph, in the case of joint borrowers or undivided owners considered as one farmer, account shall be taken of
(a)  the balance owing by them on any loan already obtained in that capacity or of which they have assumed payment;
(b)  the balance owing by each of them on every loan he has previously obtained personally or of which he has personally assumed payment; and
