Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share
 
Vested restricted stock units issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans participate in a cash equivalent of the dividends paid to common shareholders and are not considered contingently issuable shares. Accordingly, these RSUs are included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share as common stock equivalents. RSUs that have not vested and are subject to a risk of forfeiture are included solely in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

The components of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, options to purchase 2,500 and 29,750 shares of common stock, respectively, are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive.

All weighted average shares outstanding in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the two-for-one stock split that took place on June 15, 2012.
