For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings represent earnings before taxes and earnings from joint ventures, plus pretax earnings or losses of joint ventures plus fixed charges (net of capitalized interest). Fixed charges represent interest (whether expensed or capitalized) and one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest factor) of rents.
