I could be wrong but I don't think it works that way. If you rollover $10 million, it is part of your next year's cap. Otherwise why call it a rollover. Now let's say cap is a static $100 million over 4 years. If you rolled over $100 million every year that means you spent $90 million the first year, and $10 million each of the other 3 years (because you aren't spending the $10 million from the first year. So while you only spent 90% of cap the first year, you really have spent 97.5% of cap on average over the 4 years.
