(a) In the calculation of common stock equivalents, stock options are assumed to
be exercised at the beginning of the period. The proceeds from the options
exercised are assumed to be used to purchase common stock at (i) the average
market price during the period for primary earnings per share and (ii) the
higher of the average or last market price during the period for fully diluted
earnings per share.
