"The Coca-Cola Company Will Expense All Stock Options"
Coca-Cola announced Sunday that it would expense the cost of all stock options it grants from the fourth quarter onward.
"The world's No. 1 soft drink maker said the change would have a minimal impact on its financial results in the current year, noting that it would cost about 1 cent per share if the company granted options at a similar level as last year"
In embracing the shift, Coca-Cola's Daft said expensing options would ensure that the company's future earnings more clearly reflected economic reality."
