(1) Interest costs include $10 million and $34 million related to variable interest entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Excluding these costs would not have a significant effect on the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and ratio of earnings to fixed charges including preferred stock dividends for both the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Interest costs include $38 million, $122 million, $163 million, $324 million and $411 million related to variable interest entities for the years ended December 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Excluding these costs would result in a ratio of earnings to fixed charges and a ratio of earnings to fixed charges including preferred stock dividends of 1.99 and 1.97, 1.37 and 1.36, 1.12 and 1.12, 2.49 and 2.40, and 1.53 and 1.51 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
