Explanation / Answer

Question 1

The measurement is generally the date on which the no. of stock options as well as the option price is known. The option purchase price (80% of $20) as well as the number of options(26M) is known on 1 January 2018. Hence the measurement date is :

1st January 2018

Question 2

The Total Compensation expense is calculated as(Number of Stock options granted X Fair Value of options)

= $26Million X $6 = $156M

The Expected period of benefit is the vesting period which is 3 years.

In 2018, the amount of expense to be recognized is the Total Compensation expense/Benefit Period

Hence the expense to be recognized in 2018 is $156/3 = $52M

Question 3

31 Dec 2018

31 Dec 2019

Since 10% of the options are forfieted in 2019, the revised expense estimate is $156 X 0.9 = $140.4M.

Of this $52M has already been provided for in 2018, and hence 140.4M - 52M = 88.4M needs to be expensed over 2019 and 2020. Hence the expense for each of these years is 88.4/2 = $44.1M

31 Dec 2020

12 Jul 2022

On the exercise date, the directors would need to pay the Company 26M X 90% X $16 per share(Exercise Price) = $374.4M

The Total balance in Stock Option Account is $140.4M and the Par Value of the Stocks is $23.4M. Hence the entry to be passed on exercise is:

Debit Credit Compensation Expense 52M Paid-in Capital - Stock Options 52M
