A method to appropriately account for employee stock options is disclosed. The method is designed to handle all types of equity-based compensation. The current prior-art paradigm of expensing equity-based compensation is shown to be misguided, thus potentially misleading investors. Besides correctly accounting for equity-based compensation, the invention offers a simplier, more accurate method to account for financial contingencies. In conjunction with what is termed as variate Launching, the invention can be used for planning, deal evaluation, and employee-equity-based-compensation planning and evaluation. The invention entails computer simulation. A special procedure to generate log-normal random numbers that correctly models asset-value appreciation is also disclosed. |
