Stock option plans provide employees the option to purchase: (a) a specified number of shares of the firm’s stock, (b) at a specified price, (c) during a specified period of time. One of the most controversial aspects of accounting for stock-based compensation is how the fair value of stock options should be measured. Describe the general approach to measuring fair value.
Compensatory stock option plans are a common component of employee compensation packages, allowing employees to purchase company stock at a predetermined price.
The financial accounting for such plans involves various considerations. Let's examine a set of statements related to compensatory stock option plans and identify which
statement does not accurately reflect the financial accounting principles associated with these plans.
Question:
Which of the following statements regarding the financial accounting for compensatory stock option plans is not accurate?
Multiple Choice

B) The common stock issued upon the exercise of stock options is recorded at its fair market value.
C) Changes in the market value of stock options during the vesting period do not impact the recorded compensation expense.
D) The par value of common stock issued upon the conversion of options increases total owners' equity.
A stock option plan may or may not be intended to compensate employees for their work. The compensation expense for compensatory stock option plans should be recognized in the periods the a. employees become eligible to exercise the options. b. employees perform services. c. stock is issued. d. options are granted.
