On January 1, 2019, Pepin Company adopts a compensatory share option plan for its 50 executives. The plan allows each executive to purchase 200 shares of its $2 par common stock for $30 per share after completing a 3-year service period. Pepin estimates the value of each option to be $14 on the grant date, and the company expects that 15% of the options will be forfeited and uses this rate in its compensation cost calculations in 2019. At the end of 2021, Pepin determined that the actual turnover was 7 executives for the entire service period. On January 6, 2022, 8 executives exercise their options. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule of Pepin’s compensation computations for its compensatory share option plan for 2019 through 2021. 2. Prepare Pepin’s journal entries for 2019 through 2022 in regard to this plan.
On January 1, 2020, XYZ Co. granted options to key executives to purchase 100,000 shares of the company's $10 par value Common Stock at an option price of $50 per share. The Black-Scholes option pricing model determines total compensation expense to be $750,000. The options become exercisable after a 2 year service period from the date of grant. Assume all options were exercised in 2022 on the following dates: April 16, 2022– 70,000 options were exercised when the market value per share was $63 September 4, 2022 – 30,000 options were exercised when the market value per share was $72 Prepare a journal entry for: a) January 1, 2020 b) December 31, 2020 c) December 31, 2021 d) April 16th, 2022 e) September 4, 2022
1.On January 1, 2019, a company granted 100,000 options to key executives. Each option allows the executive to purchase one share of the company's $14 par value common stock at a price of $44 per share. The options were exercisable within a 2-year period beginning January 1, 2022. On the grant date, a fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation to be $800,000. On January 1, 2022, 1,000 options were exercised. In the journal entry to record the exercise, how much should be recorded for Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par – common stock? 2.A company issued 13,000 shares of $22 par value common stock upon conversion of 24,000 shares of $34 par value preferred stock. The preferred stock was originally issued at $43 per share. The common stock is trading at $22 per share at the time of conversion.
