Problem One: On October 15, 2023, the board of directors of Ensor Materials Corporation approved a stock option plan for key executives. On January 1, 2024, 20 million stock options were granted, exercisable for 20 million shares of Ensor's $1 par common stock. The options are exercisable between January 1, 2027, and December 31, 2029, at 80% of the quoted market price on January 1, 2024, which was $15. The fair value of the 20 million options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $6 per option. Ensor chooses the option to recognize forfeitures only when they occur. Ten percent (2 million) of the options were forfeited when an executive resigned in 2025. All other options were exercised on July 12, 2028, when the stock’s price jumped unexpectedly to $19 per share. Required: 1. When is Ensor’s stock option measurement date? Determine the compensation expense for the stock option plan in 2024. (Ignore taxes.) 1. Stock option date January 1, 2024 2. Compensation expense $40 million 2. Prepare the necessary journal entries. Date General Journal Debit Credit 2025 Compensation expense 32 Paid-in capital—stock options 32 2026 Compensation expense 36 Paid-in capital—stock options 36 2028 Cash 216 Paid-in capital—stock options 108 Common stock 18 Paid-in capital—excess of par 306
Problem Two: On January 1, 2024, Tru Fashions Corporation awarded restricted stock units (RSUs) representing 21 million of its $1 par common shares to key personnel, subject to forfeiture if employment is terminated within three years. After the recipients of the RSUs satisfy the vesting requirement, the company will distribute the shares. On the grant date, the shares had a market price of $4.50 per share. Required: 1. Determine the total compensation cost pertaining to the RSUs. Total compensation cost $94.5 million 2. Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record the award of RSUs on January 1, 2024. 3. Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record compensation expense on December 31, 2025. 4. Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record compensation expense on December 31, 2026. 5. Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record compensation expense on December 31, 2027. 6. Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record the lifting of restrictions on the RSUs and issuing shares at December 31. Date General Journal Debit Credit January 01, 2024 No journal entry required December 31, 2024 Compensation expense 31.5 Paid-in capital - restricted stock 31.5 December 31, 2025 Compensation expense 31.5 Paid-in capital - restricted stock 31.5 December 31, 2026 Compensation expense 31.5 Paid-in capital - restricted stock 31.5 December 31, 2026 Paid-in capital - restricted stock 94.5 Common stock 21.0 Paid-in capital - excess of par 73.5
