Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share
The following table sets forth the numerators and denominators used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Stock options to purchase 7.3 million shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2015 because their effect would have been antidilutive.
