Spread Footing Design

Here is a link for example of eccentrically loaded spread footing with two design approaches I have seen
and I am just wandering which one is correct.

It seems to me that you should
be able to take it one step further
and subtract the bearing pressure
due to the soil overburden in Case B
therefore reducing Qmax a little more.
