(1) Earnings have been calculated by adding combined fixed charges to consolidated income before provision for income taxes. The earnings calculation gives effect to fixed charges in each period presented. Combined fixed charges consist of interest expense (including/excluding interest on deposits) and preferred stock dividends. For all periods, we computed the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends by dividing earnings by combined fixed charges.
