(1) | The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed by dividing (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interest and fixed charges, by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on debt and one-third rental expense as representative of interest portion of rentals. Additional earnings of $305 million and $539 million would have been necessary to bring the ratio of earnings to fixed charges to 1.0 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. |
