- Allied Electronics offered an incentive stock plan to its employees. On January 1, Year 1, 100,000 options were granted for 100,000 $10 par common shares. The exercise price equals the $25 market price of the common stock on the grant date. The vesting period is 3 years. The options cannot be exercised before January 1, Year 4, and expire on December 31, Year 5. Each option has a value of $15 based upon an option pricing model. At the end of the first year, it is expected that 100% of employees will exercise the options. By the end of Year 2, it is expected that only 80% of the options will be exercised.
