The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed by dividing total earnings available to cover fixed charges by total fixed charges. Earnings available to cover fixed charges were calculated by adding income from continuing operations before income taxes and fixed charges less capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, net, capitalized interest and an estimate of rent expense as representative of the interest portion of rentals.
