|  | For the Years Ended December 31,

Total number of shares repurchased and retired |  | 1,028 |  |  | 2,908 |  |  | 2,179 |
Total investment |  | $ | 90,461 |  |  | $ | 245,816 |  |  | $ | 293,616 |
Stock purchase plan. Polaris maintains an employee stock purchase plan (“Purchase Plan”). A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for this plan. The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common stock monthly at 95 percent of the average of the beginning and end of month stock prices. As of December 31, 2017, approximately 1,359,000 shares had been purchased under the Purchase Plan. Dividends. Quarterly and total year cash dividends declared per common share for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:
|  | For the Years Ended December 31,
|  | 2017 |  | 2016
Quarterly dividend declared and paid per common share |  | $ | 0.58 |  |  | $ | 0.55 |
Total dividends declared and paid per common share |  | $ | 2.32 |  |  | $ | 2.20 |
On February 1, 2018, the Polaris Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.60 per share payable on March 15, 2018 to holders of record of such shares at the close of business on March 1, 2018. Net income per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including shares earned under The Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (“Director Plan”), the ESOP and deferred stock units under the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”). Diluted earnings per share is computed under the treasury stock method and is calculated to compute the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options issued under the Option Plan and certain shares issued under the Omnibus Plan. A reconciliation of these amounts is as follows (in thousands):
| For the Years Ended December 31,
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2015
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding | 62,668 |  | 64,033 |  | 65,719 |
Director Plan and deferred stock units | 157 |  | 162 |  | 210 |
ESOP | 91 |  | 101 |  | 91 |
Common shares outstanding—basic | 62,916 |  | 64,296 |  | 66,020 |
Dilutive effect of restricted stock awards | 384 |  | 150 |  | 255 |
Dilutive effect of stock option awards | 880 |  | 712 |  | 1,209 |
Common and potential common shares outstanding—diluted | 64,180 |  | 65,158 |  | 67,484 |
During 2017, 2016 and 2015, the number of options that could potentially dilute earnings per share on a fully diluted basis that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive were 2,768,000, 2,463,000 and 1,001,000, respectively. Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance is as follows (in thousands):
| Foreign Currency Items |  | Cash Flow Hedging Derivatives |  | Retirement Benefit Plan Activity |  | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Balance as of December 31, 2016 | $ | (84,133 | ) |  | $ | 296 |  |  | — |  |  | $ | (83,837 | )
Reclassification to the income statement | — |  |  | (1,565 | ) |  | — |  |  | (1,565 | )
Change in fair value | 41,691 |  |  | 1,235 |  |  | $ | (3,153 | ) |  | 39,773 |
Balance as of December 31, 2017 | $ | (42,442 | ) |  | $ | (34 | ) |  | $ | (3,153 | ) |  | $ | (45,629 | )
The table below provides data about the amount of gains and losses, net of tax, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into the income statement for cash flow derivatives designated as hedging instruments for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):
