(1) The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges.  For this purpose, “earnings” consist of income from continuing operations before taxes plus fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest, less capitalized interest.  “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and the portion of rent expense (estimated to be 35%) on operating leases deemed representative of interest.
