The "newer way" is FASB 123's option called "fair value based method" for calculating a more fair EPS number......which FASB 123 says is the more perferable way to report EPS..... which you already know so why are you asking???? what purpose are you after, by asking something that both you and i already know? and adds nothing to the brass tacs of the subject? And a fairer and more "accurate EPS" is calculating EPS using an expense for employee stock options either as a new line item, or as part of a company's general expenses, or other already existing expense line item.... jon.
