Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Earnings per share is computed using the treasury stock method. Stock options and SARs to purchase 8 million, 4 million and 7 million shares of common stock were outstanding, but were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive. The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:
