Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Share [Text Block] | EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK Upon completion of the Merger, each share of DuPont Common Stock was converted into the right to receive 1.2820 fully paid and non-assessable shares of DowDuPont Common Stock, in addition to cash in lieu of any fractional shares of DowDuPont Common Stock issued and therefore earnings per share of common stock information is not presented for the Successor period. Set forth below is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the Predecessor periods indicated below:
| Predecessor
(In millions, except share amounts) | For the Period January 1 through August 31, 2017 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2016 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2015
Numerator: |  |  |
Income from continuing operations after income taxes attributable to DuPont | $ | 1,624 |  | $ | 2,072 |  | $ | 1,443 |
Preferred dividends | (7 | ) | (10 | ) | (10 | )

Denominator: |  |  |
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding - Basic | 867,888,000 |  | 872,560,000 |  | 893,992,000 |
Dilutive effect of the company’s employee compensation plans 1 | 4,532,000 |  | 4,476,000 |  | 5,535,000 |
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding - Diluted 1 | 872,420,000 |  | 877,036,000 |  | 899,527,000 |
1. | Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.
The following average number of stock options were antidilutive, and therefore not included in the dilutive earnings per share calculations:
| Predecessor
| For the Period January 1 through August 31, 2017 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2016 | For the Year Ended December 31, 2015
Average number of stock options | 1,906 |  | 4,794,000 |  | 4,715,000 |
