         For petitioner’s 1992 through 1999 fiscal years in issue, this               
         results in reasonable compensation to Mr. Wechsler totaling                  
         $16,050,820.                                                                 
              We estimate that this results in petitioner’s having a                  
         compounded annual return on its revised common stock equity,                 
         adjusted for deferred taxes, of approximately 16.3 percent for               
         its 1992 through 1998 fiscal years.  That calculation is as                  
         follows:

              2  Adjusted common stock equity, plus cumulative estimated              
         additional after-tax earnings attributable to petitioner’s                   
         increased positive taxable income for prior years and current                
         year from disallowed, nondeductible compensation paid to Mr.                 
         Wechsler, Mrs. Wechsler, and Gilbert, assuming those increases in            
         positive taxable income were subject to combined Federal and
