(A) For computation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings has been calculated by adding fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest, to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes and dividends received from equity affiliates, then deducting the gain (impairment) of equity investment and undistributed earnings of affiliates. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, estimated interest portion of rent expense and capitalized interest.
