Rock Solid Bank and Trust (RSB&T) offers only checking accounts. Customers can write checks and use a network of automated teller machines. RSB&T earns revenue by investing the money deposited; currently, it averages 5.90 percent annually on its investments of those deposits. To compete with larger banks, RSB&T pays depositors 0.50 percent on all deposits. A recent study classified the bank’s annual operating costs into four activities.

Data on two representative customers follow.

A. Compute RSB&T's operating profits.

B. Compute the profit from Customer A and Customer B, assuming that customer costs are based only on deposits. Interest costs = {{0.5:#,##0.00}} percent of deposits; operating costs are 4 percent (= $25,500,000/$637,500,000) of deposits. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

C. Compute the profit from Customer A and Customer B, assuming that customer costs are computed using the information in the activity-based costing analysis. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Loss amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.)

ANSWER OPTIONS (MATCH LETTERS AND NUMBERS):

Identifying and Analyzing Financial Statement Effects of Share-Based Compensation
Weaver Industries implements a new share-based compensation plan in 2014. Under the plan, the company's CEO and CFO each will receive non-qualified stock options to purchase 100,000, no par shares. The options vest ratably (1/3 of the options each year) over three years, expire in 10 years, and have an exercise (strike) price of $27 per share. Weaver uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate a fair-value per option of $18.  

(a) Use the financial statement effects template to record the compensation expense related to these options for each year 2014 through 2016.

Use negative signs with answers, when appropriate.

(b) In 2017, the company's stock price is $24. If you were the Weaver Industries CEO, would you exercise your options? Explain.

Because the stock price is per share, the Weaver CEO should exercise the options because she can immediately sell them for that amount.

Because the stock price is per share, the Weaver CEO can immediately recognize a gain of $3 per share by exercising the options.

Because the stock price is per share, no gain or loss would be recognized if the Weaver CEO exercises her options and immediately sold her shares.

Because the stock price is per share, the options are under-water (out of the money) and the Weaver CEO should not exercise the options.

(c) In 2019, the company's stock price is $46 and the CEO exercises all of her options. Use the financial statement effects template to record the exercise.
