On November 1, 2020, Carla Company adopted a stock-option plan
that granted options to key executives to purchase 33,900 shares of
the company’s $9 par value common stock. The options were granted
on January 2, 2021, and were exercisable 2 years after the date of
grant if the grantee was still an employee of the company. The
options expired 6 years from date of grant. The option price was
set at $30, and the fair value option-pricing model determines the
total compensation expense to be $508,500.
All of the options were exercised during the year 2023: 22,600 on
January 3 when the market price was $65, and 11,300 on May 1 when
the market price was $74 a share.
Prepare journal entries relating to the stock option plan for the
years 2021, 2022, and 2023. Assume that the employee performs
services equally in 2022 and 2023.

On Friday June 19, 2020, the newspaper El Nuevo Día published the news "GM Sectec and Visa educate about digital payments." The news discussed how the pandemic has required companies to adopt technologies for processing electronic payments. The idea is to reduce the use of dollars and cents as payment tools as this can increase the risk of contagion. However, in addition to reducing contagion, the decrease in the use of currencies as payment tools is also a mechanism to reduce the risk of loss of cash, the most liquid asset of companies.
Discuss reasons why electronic payment methods are considered a tool to decrease fraud and cash theft. Consider both whether the company issues payments through electronic methods and how customers pay the company through electronic methods. Discuss what other risks arise from the use of electronic methods.
