Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS PER SHARE EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less shares subject to repurchase. Diluted net income per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.
The rights of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. As a result, undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportional basis and net income per share is the same for both classes.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is as follows:
