Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Net Earnings Per Share
Net Earnings Per Share
The Company’s basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The Company’s diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options and stock incentive plans. Certain outstanding options were excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculations because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during those periods. For the three months ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, there were 1.5 million and 3.4 million, respectively, options excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculation.
Basic and diluted net earnings per share were calculated using the following (in millions, except per share amounts):
