13. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share have been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common stock.

As of August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, no options were outstanding.  The following table sets forth the computation for basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:
