On January 1, 2016, Van Corporation granted an employee an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Van's P5 par value ordinary share at P20 each. The option became exercisable on December 31, 2018. The option was exercised on January 10, 2019. The market prices of Van's share capital were as follows: January 1, 2016 - P30; December 31, 2016 - P50, January 10, 2019 - P45. The company cannot reliably determine the fair value of the share option, so it decided to use the intrinsic value method. For the year 2016, how much should Van recognize as compensation expense?
