These ratios were computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings include pre-tax income, plus fixed charges to the extent they affect current year earnings, amortization of capitalized interest, then subtracting interest capitalized during the year. Fixed charges include interest expensed and capitalized, amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness, and estimates of interest within rental expenses.
