Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income TaxesThe effective tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2020 was higher than the federal statutory tax rate of 21% mainly due to a $1,950,000 discrete benefit recorded as a result of the carryback of federal net operating losses to previous years when the federal income tax rate was 34%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2019 was lower than the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to income attributable to foreign jurisdictions which is taxed at different rates, state taxes, and nondeductible tax items.
