Interest inherent in rent expense is an amount representative of the interest factor in rentals (for this purpose, the interest factor is assumed to be one-third of rental expense).  Interest associated with uncertain tax liabilities has been excluded from fixed charges as the benefits (generally reflecting statute of limitations lapses) would reduce fixed charges.
