taxes on income and fixed charges to Net Income. Fixed charges consist of
interest charges (without reduction for Allowance for Funds Used During
Construction) on long-term and short-term debt, and such portion of rentals as
is representative of the interest factor. These earnings are then divided by
total fixed charges.
