The earnings per share are shown below:
| 12/31/2020 |  | 12/31/2019 |  | 12/31/2018
| Common Shares |  |
Profit for the year | 3,794,295 |  | 1,789,067 |  | 5,074,136
Weighted average number of shares | 1,380,114,547 |  | 1,380,114,547 |  | 1,373,250,595
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share | 2.74926 |  | 1.29632 |  | 3.69498
Accounting Policy Share Capital Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the amount raised, net of taxes. Earnings/(loss) per share Basic earnings per share is calculated using the net income for the year attributable to the Company’s controlling shareholders and the weighted average number of outstanding common shares in the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the aforementioned average of outstanding shares, adjusted by instruments potentially convertible into shares, with a dilutive effect, in the periods presented. The Company does not have potential instruments convertible into shares and, consequently, the diluted and basic earnings per share are the same. Treasury shares When the Company purchases shares of the capital stock of the Company itself (treasury shares), the amount paid, including any directly attributable additional costs (net of income tax), is deducted from the shareholders’ equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company until the shares are canceled or reissued. When such shares are subsequently reissued, any amounts received, net of any directly attributable additional transaction costs and the respective income tax and social contribution effects, are included in the shareholders’ equity attributable to the Company’s shareholders. Non-controlling interest and transactions The Company considers transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with owners of the Company’s assets. For non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the acquired portion of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's net assets is recorded in the shareholders' equity. Gains or losses on disposals for non-controlling interests are also recorded directly in shareholders' equity. When the Company ceases to have control, any interest held in the entity is remeasured at fair value, with the change in book value recognized in the income statement. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the subsequent accounting of the retained interest in an associate, a joint venture or a financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to that entity are accounted for as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This means that the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to income.
