Variations in interest rates generally do not have a substantial impact on the ratio because fixed-rate and floating-rate assets are generally matched with liabilities of similar rate and term. Income available for fixed charges, for purposes of computing the above ratios, consists of income from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest and related debt expense, and a portion of rental expense determined to be representative of interest.
