“Earnings” consist of (loss)/income before income taxes and equity income, plus fixed charges (other than capitalized interest and preference dividends), amortization of capitalized interest and distributed income of equity investee. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense, capitalized interest, preference dividends and one-third of rentals which Schering-Plough believes to be a reasonable estimate of an interest factor on leases.
