On January 1, 2018, Adams-Meneke Corporation granted 15 million
incentive stock options to division managers, each permitting
holders to purchase one share of the company’s $1 par common shares
within the next six years, but not before December 31, 2020 (the
vesting date). The exercise price is the market price of the shares
on the date of grant, currently $50 per share. The fair value of
the options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is
$5 per option. Management’s policy is to estimate forfeitures. No
forfeitures are anticipated. Ignore taxes.
Required:
1. Determine the total compensation cost
pertaining to the options on January 1, 2018.
2. 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 10% of the stock options. Determine
the adjusted compensation cost, and prepare the appropriate journal
entry(s) on December 31, 2019 and 2020.

1. Total compensation cost pertaining to the options on January 1, 2018 = No. of Stock options*Fair Value of Option
= 15 million*$5 per option
= $75 million
2.
| Date | Account Titles and Explanations | Debit | Credit |
| Dec. 31, 2018 | Compensation Expense (75/3) | 25 million | |
| Paid in Capital-Restricted Stock | 25 million | ||
| (To record compensation expense for 2018) |
3. New Total Compensation = Old total compensation*Forefeiture rate
= $75 million*90%
= $67.50 million
Compensation cost for 2019 = (New total compensation*2/3) - Compensation cost for 2018
= $67.50*2/3 - $25
= $20 million
Compensation cost for 2020 = (New total compensation*3/3)-Compensation cost for 2018 and 2019
= $67.50*2/3 - $25 - $20 million
= $22.50 million
