Stock appreciation rights (SARs): Stock appreciation rights are the compensation plans provided in the form of rights to receive cash or shares for the appreciated value (difference between the market price of shares on the exercise date and the market price of shares on the grant date). The choice between the cash or shares would be chosen either by employers or employees.
Debit and credit rules:
- Debit an increase in asset account, increase in expense account, decrease in liability account, and decrease in
stockholders’ equity accounts. - Credit decrease in asset account, increase in revenue account, increase in liability account, and increase in stockholders’ equity accounts.
To journalize: The entry to record the grant of SARs on January 1, 2018, and mention whether SARs would be reported as debt or equity.
(1)
Explanation of Solution
If the employee chooses to issue cash or shares, the SARs are considered as liability. In the given case, employees are given the right to choose either cash or stock. The compensation expense is recorded over the service period. Since the SARs are considered as liability, those should be adjusted each year, to reflect the fair value, until the SARS are paid. The estimated periodic compensation expense of prior years is reduced to adjust the expense. Since the compensation expense would be recognized only after the completion of one year, do not record any entry for this transaction on the grant date.
