Solutions

Expert Solution

Part a

Granted options =15 million

Price per option = $4

Total option expense in 3 years =15*4= 60 million

Effect on earnings in the year after the options are granted to executives =60 million/3 =20 million

Part b

Whenever stock is issued in exchange of property then fair value can be fair value of stock hence it can be value on stock market, fair value of property received hence it can be The appraised value of the property received and last selling price of stock. However it cannot be The average book value of outstanding stock because it does not denotes the fair value of stock. Hence the right answer of this question is,

The appraised value of the property received.

PArt c

Under IFRS, a DTA is cannot be created until that asset is in money hence this option is wrong

a DTA for stock options Is created for the cumulative amount of the fair value of the options the company has recorded for compensation expense as per US GAPP not as per IFRS. hence this option is wrong

Under IFRS, a DTA for stock options Is date times the tax rate hence it is not the tax rate times the amount of compensation. hence this option is wrong

Under IFRS, a DTA for stock options Is the portion of the options' intrinsic value earned to date times the tax rate. Hence this is correct option.
