Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost or, in the case of assets acquired in a business combination, at fair value. Depreciation and amortization expense, which includes the depreciation of assets recorded under finance Icases, is computed principally using the straight-linc method over the estimated useful lives of individual assets. Buildings and land improvements are depreciated based on lives varying from 10 to 40 years. All new purchases of store equipment are assigned lives varying from three to nine years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the Icase term to which they relate, which generally varies from four to 25 years, or the useful life of the asset. Food production plant and distribution center equipment is depreciated over lives varying from three to 15 years Information technology assets are generally depreciated over three to five years. Depreciation and amortization expense was $2,747 in 2020, 52,649 in 2019 and $2,465 in 2018 Interest costs on significant projects constructed for the Company's own use are capitalized as part of the costs of the newly constructed facilities. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and any gain or loss is reflected in net earnings. Refer to Note 4 for further information regarding the Company's property, plant and oquipment Self-Insurance Costs The Company is primarily self-insured for costs related to workers' compensation and general liability claims. Liabilities are actuarially determined and are recognized based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported.

The Company has purchased stop-loss coverage to limit its exposure to any significant exposure on a per claim basis. The Company is insured for covered costs in excess of these per claim limits.

Net earnings attributable to The Kroger Co. per diluted common share equals net earnings attributable to The Kroger Co. less income allocated to participating securities divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding after giving effect to dilutive stock options. The following table provides a reconciliation of net camnings attributable to The Kroger Co and shares used in calculating net earnings attributable to The Kroger Co. per basic common share to those used in calculating net earnings attributable to The Kroger Co. per diluted common share: For the year ended For the year ended 2021 For the year ended February 2010 Erip Numerator Ear Per Share A Shar Denna Ering Shares Nie miasto Per Shares Amon Numer ter 2055 2016 310 Per Share A 2.550 773 3S 31 (in muillon, por dhe materiale The KEEPE banco Dve to work option Netningene Coper du commer 5 Y16 321 10 2015 30 56 The Company had combined undistributed and distributed carnings to participating securities totaling $29, $19 and S34 in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, The Company had stock options outstanding for approximately 9.1 million, 18.4 million and 10.1 million shares respectively, for the years ended January 30, 2021. February 1, 2020, and February 2, 2019, which were excluded from the computations of net camings per diluted common share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net earnings per diluted share 12. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payments granted. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, over the requisite service period of the award based on the fair value at the date of the grant The Company grants options for common shares ("stock options") to employees under various plans at an option price equal to the fair market value of the stock option at the date of grant . The Company accounts for stock options under the fair value recognition provisions. Stock options typically expire 10 years from the date of grant. Stock options vest between one and five years from the date of grant In addition to the stock options described above, the Company awards restricted stock to employees and nonemployee directors under various plans. The restrictions on these awards generally lapse between one and five years from the date of the awards.

At January 30, 2021, approximately 34 million common shares were available for future options or restricted stock grants under the 2011, 2014 and 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plans (the "Plans"). Options granted reduce the shares available under the Plans at a ratio of one to one. Restricted stock grants reduce the shares available under the Plansata ratio of 2.83 to one. Equity awards granted are based on the aggregate value of the award on the grunt date. This can affect the number of shares granted in a given year as equity awards.

The fair value of each stock option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model, based on the assumptions shown in the table below. The Black Scholes model utilizes accounting judgment and financial estimates, including the term option holders are expected to retain their stock options before exercising them, the Volatility of the Company's share price over that expected term, the dividend yield over the term and the number of awards expected to be forfeited before they vest. Using alternative assumptions in the calculation of fair value would produce fair values for stock option grants that could be different than those used to record stock-based compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The increase in the fair value of the stock options granted during 2020, compared to 2019. resulted primarily from increases in the Company's share price and the weighted average expected volatility, partially offset by a decrease in the interest rate. The decrease in the fair value of the stock options granted during 2019. compared to 2018, resulted primarily from a decrease in the Company's share price, partially offset by an increase in the weighted avenge expected volatility 14.
