Prepare the necessary entries from 1/1/17 through 2/1/19 for the following events using the fair value method.
1.) On 1/1/17, the stockholders adopted a stock option plan for top executives whereby each might receive rights to purchase up to 30,000 shares of common stock at $40 per share. The par value is $10 per share
2.) On 2/1/17, options were granted to each of five executives to purchase 30,000 shares. The options were non-transferable and the executive had to remain an employee of the company to exercise the option. The options expire on 2/1/19. It is assumed that the options were for services performed equally in 2017 and 2018. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model determines the total compensation expense to be $3,200,000.
3.) On 2/1/19, four executives exercised their options. The fifth executive chose not to exercise his options, which therefore were forfeited.
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?
Prepare journal entries relating to the stock option plan on the following dates using the fair value method. If no entry is needed, write "No Entry Necessary." Show your work for partial credits.
On November 1, 2019, the stockholders adopted a stock option plan for top executives whereby each might receive rights to purchase up to 30,000 shares of common stock at $40 per share. The par value is $10 per share.
On January 1, 2020, options were granted to each of five executives to purchase 30,000 shares. The options were non-transferable and the executive had to remain an employee of the company to exercise the option. It is assumed that the options were for services performed equally in 2020 and 2021. The Black-Scholes option pricing model determines total compensation expense to be $3,200,000.
At February 1, 2022, four executives exercised their options.
The fifth executive chose not to exercise his options, which therefore were forfeited on January 1, 2028
