___________________________ * Represents shares of less than 0.1 million. As of August 31, 2022 and 2021, we had 21.8 million and 18.8 million of repurchased shares recorded as treasury stock at an original repurchase cost of $2.18 billion and $1.66 billion, respectively. During fiscal 2022, we repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of our outstanding common stock. As of August 31, 2022, the maximum number of shares that may yet be repurchased under the share repurchase program authorized by the Board equaled 2.8 million shares. We may repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time at prevailing market prices, depending on market conditions, through open market or privately negotiated transactions. Preferred Stock We have 50 million shares of preferred stock authorized. No shares of preferred stock were issued in fiscal 2022 or 2021, and no shares of preferred stock are outstanding. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share for the periods presented is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for these periods. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly but reflects the potential dilution that would occur if dilutive options were exercised, unvested share-based payment awards were vested, and other distributions related to deferred stock agreements were incurred. The dilutive effects of share-based payment awards subject to market and/or performance conditions that were not met during the period are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The following table calculates basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share during the periods presented (in millions, except per share data):
| Year Ended August 31,
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Net income | $ | 384.0 |  |  | $ | 306.3 |  |  | $ | 248.3 |
Basic weighted average shares outstanding | 34.182 |  |  | 36.284 |  |  | 39.453 |
Common stock equivalents | 0.463 |  |  | 0.270 |  |  | 0.148 |
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | 34.645 |  |  | 36.554 |  |  | 39.601 |
Basic earnings per share(1) | $ | 11.23 |  |  | $ | 8.44 |  |  | $ | 6.29 |
Diluted earnings per share(1) | $ | 11.08 |  |  | $ | 8.38 |  |  | $ | 6.27 |
____________________ (1) Earnings per share is calculated using unrounded numbers. Amounts in the table may not recalculate exactly due to rounding. The following table presents stock options, restricted stock awards, and performance stock units that were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation for the periods presented as the effect of inclusion would have been antidilutive (in millions):
