Numerator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income | $ | (140) |  |  | $ | 543 |  |  | $ | 1,357 |  |  | $ | 1,430 |
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic: Weighted-average common shares outstanding | 123.0 |  |  | 132.7 |  |  | 124.8 |  |  | 135.8 |
Effect of potentially dilutive nonqualified stock options and other share-based awards | 1.9 |  |  | 1.8 |  |  | 1.7 |  |  | 1.7 |
Diluted: Weighted-average common shares outstanding | 124.9 |  |  | 134.5 |  |  | 126.5 |  |  | 137.5 |
Earnings per share: |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Diluted | $ | (1.14) |  | (1) | $ | 4.04 |  |  | $ | 10.73 |  |  | $ | 10.40 |

The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes the incremental effect of 1.5 million and 1.0 million options as of September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, due to their anti-dilutive effect.
