Ratio of earnings to fixed charges (b)
 

 

 

 

 

Note: The ratios of earnings to fixed charges set forth above are computed on a total enterprise basis, except for our discontinued operations, which have been excluded. Fixed charges is comprised of interest incurred, which includes imputed interest associated with the guaranteed debt of our 50% or less owned affiliates, as well as a portion of rent expense, which represents the estimated interest factor and amortization of debt expense.
(a)
Includes imputed interest related to certain guaranteed joint venture debt for which we have made or expect to make cash expenditures.
(b)
Earnings for years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, and 2007 were inadequate to cover fixed charges. Additional earnings of $338.4 million, $1.3 billion, $2.0 billion, $1.7 billion, and $2.4 billion, respectively, would have been necessary to bring the ratio to 1.0.
