Earnings per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per Share

8. Earnings per Share

We compute our basic earnings per share based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding and our diluted earnings per share based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding adjusted by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had potentially dilutive common shares been issued.

Reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):
