 (b) otherwise—the minimum amount that the annuity or pension would pay in the payment year if the annuity or pension were not commuted.
 (5) If the commencement day for an annuity or a pension is the day on which the commutation of the annuity or pension is to take place:
 (a) the payment year is taken to commence on the commencement day and end on the day before the anniversary of the commencement day; and
 (b) there is taken to be 1 day in the payment period.
 (6) If, to calculate the minimum annual amount, it is necessary to use a future unknown value of the CPI, that value is taken to be equal to the CPI for the last known quarter.
