The credit amount shall be equal to the product of (i) the portion of such taxpayer's ownership in such affordable housing project and (ii) the sum of 50 percent of the difference between the fair market value of each unit rented to a qualifying tenant and the rent actually charged to such tenant for the unit, computed for that portion of the taxable year in which the unit was rented to such tenant.
