* Interest costs of $34.8 million $70.8 million $149.1 million and $113.2 million for the years ended August 31, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 respectively, associated with our commitment to purchase the CHS McPherson noncontrolling interests, were excluded from interest expense for purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred dividends.
** 1/3 of rent expense is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor.
