(a) Earnings before adding fixed charges is determined by starting with pre-tax income (less undistributed equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates)
and subtracting capitalized interest.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(b) Fixed Charges consist of interest charges on our long-term debt and short-term borrowings (including a representative portion of lease expense),
capitalized interest and amortization of debt expense.
