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. Allied chooses to adjust the fair value of options for the estimated forfeitures.
What are the journal entries to reflect the first year and second years' compensation expense? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Only round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Marie Drugs offered an incentive stock option plan to its employees. On January 1, 2015, options were granted for sixty thousand $0.2 par common shares. The
exercise price, $5, equals the market price of the common stock on the grant date. The options cannot be exercised before January 1, 2018, and expire December 31,
2021. Each option has a fair value of $1 based on an option pricing model. Which is the correct entry to record compensation expense for the year 2015?
On January 1, 2018, Choosy Co. granted to an employee the right to choose either shares or
cash payment. The choices are as follows:
• Share Alternative: Equal to 25,000 shares with par value of P40.
• Cash Alternative: Cash payment equal to the market value of 21,000 shares.
The grant is conditional upon the completion of three years of service. On the grant date, on
January 1, 2018, the share price P36. The share prices for the three year period are as
follows:
December 31, 2018
P46
December 31, 2019
P54
December 31, 2020
