The grant provided for in section 2 is equal to the net interest on the first $50 000 of the loan or, as the case may be, on the first $50 000 of the balance in principal of the loan outstanding on the date payment thereof was assumed, computed while taking account of the normal amortization of the loan on the first $50 000.

(2)  in the case of an agricultural operations corporation which has issued several classes of shares,
(a)  the percentage represented by the total number of shares held by each shareholder contemplated in the second paragraph and issued to him, in relation to the total number of shares of all classes issued by the corporation where, while taking account of the total number of shares of each class issued by it, the shareholder holds an equal percentage of shares of each class; or
(b)  the percentage represented by the number of shares of the class of which each shareholder contemplated in the second paragraph holds a percentage lower than the percentage he holds of other classes, in relation to the total number of shares of that class issued by the corporation;
