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