(2)   The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is determined by dividing earnings, which includes income from continuing operations before taxes, undistributed earnings of less-than-fifty-percent-owned affiliates, and fixed charges, by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on all indebtedness plus that portion of operating lease rentals representative of the interest factor (deemed to be 21% of operating lease rentals).
