After 3 years of work, the patent was granted at the end of 2016. The patented product has resulted in a 50% increase in sales from 12/31/2016 to 12/31/2018. The president expects the product to continue being very marketable over the company’s 3 year strategic plan from 2018 through 2020.

Harmer Inc. is now a successful company. In the early days (before it became profitable), it issued ISOs to its employees. Now Harmer is trying to decide whether to issue NQOs or ISOs to its employees. Initially, Harmer would like to give each employee 20 options (each option allows the employee to acquire one share of Harmer stock). For purposes of this problem, assume that the options are exercised in three years (three years from now) and that the underlying stock is sold in five years (five years from now). Assume that taxes are paid at the same time the income generating the tax is recognized. Also assume the following facts: (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.) The after-tax discount rate for both Harmer Inc. and its employees is 10 percent. The Corporate tax rate is 21 percent. The Personal (employee) ordinary income rate is 37 percent. The Personal (employee) long-term capital gains rate is 20 percent. The Exercise price of the options is $7. The Market price of Harmer at date of grant is $5. The Market price of Harmer at date of exercise is $25. The Market price of Harmer at date of sale is $35. Answer the following questions: Problem 12-32 Part a a. Considering these facts, which type of option plan, NQO or ISO, should Harmer Inc. prefer?

b. Assuming Harmer issues NQOs, what is Harmer’s tax benefit from the options for each employee in the year each employee exercises the NQOs? (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.)

e. What is the present value of each employee’s after-tax cash flows from year 1 through year 5 if the employees receive ISOs? Use Exhibit 3.1. (Round your intermediate calculations and final anwser to 2 decimal places.)

f. What is the present value of each employee’s after-tax cash flows from year 1 through year 5 if the employees receive NQOs? Use Exhibit 3.1. (Round your intermediate calculations and final anwser to 2 decimal places.)
g. How many NQOs would Harmer have to grant to keep its employees indifferent between NQOs and 20 ISOs? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)
