|(3) | The ratio of earnings to fixed
        charges has been computed by adding income before income taxes and fixed
        charges to derive adjusted income, and dividing adjusted income by fixed
        charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense on debt (including
        the amortization of debt expense) and one-third (the proportion deemed
        representative of the interest portion) of rent expense.
