(2) If a minimum retail price for a container size calculated under subsection (1) is higher than the minimum retail price in effect for the container size shown in the Table to section 5 that is next larger than the container size in respect of which the calculation is made, then the minimum retail price for the container shall be the minimum retail price in effect for the container size shown in the Table that is next larger than the container size in respect of which the calculation is made.
