(a) Interest capitalized during the period is deducted because fixed charges include all interest, whether capitalized or expensed. Only fixed charges that were deducted from income were included in the earnings computation.
(b) AbbVie considers one-third of rent expense to be a reasonable approximation of the interest factor in its leases.
