BL Aircraft manufactures and distributes aircraft parts and supplies. Employees are offered a variety of share-based compensation plans. Under its nonqualified stock option plan, JBL granted options to key officers on January 1, 2018. The options permit holders to acquire 9 million of the company's $1 par common shares for $38 within the next six years, but not before January 1, 2021 (the vesting date). The market price of the shares on the date of grant is $42 per share. The fair value of the 9 million options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $6 per option.

The tax rate is 40%.
