For the purpose of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed 
charges, earnings represent consolidated income before income taxes plus fixed 
charges. Fixed charges excluding interest on deposits consist of interest on 
long-term debt and short-term borrowings and one-third of rental expense (which 
is deemed representative of the interest factor). Fixed charges including 
interest on deposits consist of the foregoing items plus interest on deposits.
