Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share
NOTE 13 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Dell excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such instruments is anti-dilutive. Accordingly, certain stock-based incentive awards have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, totaling 86 million and 135 million common shares for the three months ended August 2, 2013, and August 3, 2012, respectively, and 85 million and 121 million for the six months ended August 2, 2013, and August 3, 2012, respectively.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended August 2, 2013, and August 3, 2012:
