On 9/1/16, Armada Company adopted a stock option plan for
Joe and Erica to purchase common stock at $20 per share.
Joe was granted options to purchase 1,000
shares of stock: 700 shares for services performed in 2017
and 300 shares for services performed in 2018. Erica was
granted options to purchase 1,200 shares of stock: 800 shares
for services performed in 2017 and 400 shares for services
performed in 2018. These options can be exercised in 2019
and 2020. The fair value of the options on 9/1/16 (the grant
date) was $28 per option. The common stock is $1 par.
1) Record compensation expense for the stock option plan
for 2017 and 2018.
2) Assume in 2019, Joe exercises 800 of his options and
Erica exercises 1,100 of her options. The market price
of the common stock was $41 at the time of exercise.
Please record the exercise of the stock options.
3) Assume it is now 1/1/21, and no other options were
