Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted for the provision for income taxes, noncontrolling interests, discontinued operations and undistributed earnings of equity investees.
Fixed charges consist of interest and discount on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which we believe is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such rentals.
