          cost of their ILUs.  Accordingly, we hold that the allocation               
          percentage must be applied based on the number of residents and             
          the average weighted monthly service fees (or weighted annual               
          service fees in the case of residents living in ILUs for the                
          entire year).                                                               
               On the basis of the undisputed assumptions by AFVW and our             
          findings above, we have calculated the amounts allocable to ILU             
          residents of Village West for medical care related to their                 
          monthly service fees.  Our calculations show that the amounts of            
          $7,766 and $8,476 paid by petitioners as service fees for 1997              
          and 1998, respectively, were for medical care.  The details of              
          our calculations are contained in the attached appendix.                    
          IV. Deductions for Use of Pool, Spa, and Exercise Facilities                
               Petitioners claim that they are entitled to deductions for             
          Mr. Baker’s use of the pool, spa, and exercise facilities                   
          because:  (1) The use of the facilities was necessary to                    
          alleviate his chronic illnesses; and (2) a portion of the monthly           
          service fees is properly allocable to the operation and                     
          maintenance of these facilities.  Respondent argues that no                 
          deductions are allowable because Mr. Baker’s use of the                     
          facilities was personal in nature, any expense related to use of            
          the facilities would otherwise have been incurred by AFVW                   
          residents, and the methodology used by petitioners to allocate a            
          portion of the monthly service fees to the operation and
