Note: The ratios of earnings to fixed charges set forth above are computed on a consolidated basis. Fixed charges are comprised of interest incurred, which includes imputed interest associated with the guaranteed debt of our 50% or less owned affiliates, as well as a portion of rent expense, which represents the estimated interest factor and amortization of debt expense.
(a) | Includes imputed interest related to certain guaranteed joint venture debt for which we have made or expect to make cash expenditures. |
(b) | Earnings for years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 were inadequate to cover fixed charges. Additional earnings of $0.3 billion, $1.3 billion, and $2.0 billion, respectively, would have been necessary to bring the ratio to 1.0. |
