The fee shall be distributed to the motor vehicle highway account. (4) If the vehicle was registered as a farm vehicle other than a farm semitrailer, the amount determined under the following formula: STEP ONE: Determine the number of months between: (i) the date on which the farm vehicle is registered as a vehicle other than a farm vehicle or is operated in the conduct of a commercial enterprise; and (ii) the next registration date under IC 9-18.1-11 of the farm vehicle. A partial month shall be rounded to one (1) month. STEP TWO: Multiply the STEP ONE result by one-twelfth (1/12). STEP THREE: Determine the product of: (i) the STEP TWO result; multiplied by (ii) the applicable fee under IC 9-18.1-5 for the classification to which the vehicle's registration is changed. The amount determined under this subdivision shall be deposited in the motor vehicle highway account.
