(a) We calculated the ratio of earnings to fixed charges by dividing earnings by fixed charges. Earnings consist of income from continuing operations before income taxes and before adjustment for noncontrolling interest, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of (i) interest expense, including accretion of senior notes discount and amortization of deferred financing fees and (ii) the portion of rental expense we estimate to be representative of the interest factor in rent expense.
