“Rental expense factor” is the portion of rental expense estimated to be representative of the interest factor within rental expense.
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing earnings available for fixed charges by fixed charges. Earnings available for fixed charges represent earnings before income taxes and fixed charges excluding capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and the rental expense factor discussed above.
