(1) the total of all payments made before the subsequent purchase is considered to have been applied to the previous purchases; and
(2) each payment made on the consolidated contract after the subsequent purchase is considered to be allocated to each purchase in the same ratio as the original cash price of the purchase bears to the total of the original cash prices of all purchases under the contract.
(b) All of a down payment on a subsequent purchase shall be allocated to that purchase.
