Shareholders' Equity | 6 Months Ended

Equity [Abstract] |
Shareholders' Equity | Shareholders’ Equity Share Repurchase Program As of March 31, 2018, the Company had an authorized share repurchase program of up to $210 billion of the Company’s common stock, of which $199.6 billion had been utilized. The Company has entered, and in the future may enter, into accelerated share repurchase arrangements (“ASRs”) with financial institutions. In exchange for up-front payments, the financial institutions deliver shares of the Company’s common stock during the purchase periods of each ASR. The total number of shares ultimately delivered, and therefore the average repurchase price paid per share, is determined at the end of the applicable purchase period of each ASR based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock during that period. The shares received are retired in the periods they are delivered, and the up-front payments are accounted for as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the periods the payments are made. The Company reflects the ASRs as a repurchase of common stock in the period delivered for purposes of calculating earnings per share and as forward contracts indexed to its own common stock. The ASRs met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification, and therefore were not accounted for as derivative instruments. The following table shows the Company’s ASR activity and related information during the six months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended September 30, 2017:
