Fixed charges represent consolidated interest charges, an estimated amount representing the interest factor in rents and preferred dividends of wholly-owned subsidiaries. Preferred dividends of wholly-owned subsidiaries represents preferred dividends multiplied by the ratio which pre-tax income from continuing operations bears to income from continuing operations. Earnings represent the aggregate of (a) income from continuing operations, (b) taxes based on income from continuing operations, (c) minority interest in the income of majority-owned subsidiaries that have fixed charges, (d) fixed charges and (e) undistributed income of less than 50% owned affiliates without loan guarantees.
