Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record compensation expense on December 31, 2018. 3. Unexpected turnover during 2019 caused an estimate of the forfeiture of 5% of the stock options. Determine the adjusted compensation cost, and prepare the appropriate journal entry(s) on December 31, 2019 and 2020.
