(2) | For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, “earnings” consist of earnings before provision for income taxes excluding capitalized interest, plus fixed charges. “Fixed charges” consist of interest incurred on indebtedness including capitalized interest, amortization of debt expenses, and the portion of rental expense under operating leases deemed to be the equivalent of interest. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated as follows: |
(earnings before provision for income taxes) + (fixed charges) - (capitalized interest)
(fixed charges)
