Walters Audio Visual, Inc. offers a stock option plan to its regional managers. On January 1, 2018, 20 million options were granted for 20 million $1 par common shares. The exercise price is the market price on the grant date, $7 per share. Options cannot be exercised prior to January 1, 2020, and expire December 31, 2024. The fair value of the options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $2 per option. Because the plan does not qualify as an incentive plan, Walters will receive a tax deduction upon exercise of the options equal to the excess of the market price at exercise over the exercise price. The income tax rate is 40%. Required: 1. Determine the total compensation cost pertaining to the stock option plan. 2. to 4. Assume all of the options are exercised on March 20, 2023, when the market price is $11 per share. Prepare the necessary journal entries. 5. & 6. Assume the option plan qualifies as an incentive plan if all of the options are exercised on March 20, 2023, when the market price is $10 per share. Prepare the necessary journal entries
