Accounting

On October 1, 2018, Farmer Fabrication issued stock options for 260,000 shares to a division manager. The options have an estimated fair value of $7 each.

Required: 1. What is the revised estimate of the total compensation? 2. What action will be taken to account for the options in 2019? 3.
