(A) For the purpose of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income before provision for income taxes and before adjustment for loss from equity investees plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest charges, amortization of debt discount or premium related to indebtedness, whether expensed or capitalized, and that portion of rental expense we believe to be representative of interest.
