Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS PER SHARE
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company uses the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share is net earnings attributable to shareholders reduced by dividends and undistributed earnings attributable to unvested shares. The denominator for basic earnings per share is the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. The denominator for diluted earnings per share is the weighted-average shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive stock options and performance share awards.
    
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:
