Explanation of Solution

Determine the amount of compensation expense to be recorded by Corporation E in 2016.

Step 1: Compute the total compensation cost of stock options.

Total compensation cost of stock options} = {Estimated fair market value of the option × Number of options granted}= $6 × 20,000,000 shares= $120,000,000 (1)

Step 2: Compute the compensation expense of stock options allocated to each of the three vesting periods.

Expense allocated each year = Total compensation cost of stock optionsVesting period=$120,000,0003 years= $40,000,000 (2)

Note: Refer to Equation (1) for value and computation of total compensation cost.

Thus, compensation expense to be recorded in 2016 is $40,000,000.

(3)

To determine

The effect of forfeiture of 10% of stock options in 2017 and 2018

Explanation of Solution

Effect of forfeiture of stock options in 2017:

Date Account Titles and Explanation Post Ref. Debit ($) Credit ($)
2017        
    Compensation Expense   32,000,000
           Paid-In Capital – Stock Options   32,000,000
(To record changes in compensation expense due to forfeiture)

Table (1)

Working Notes:

Compute the new estimated expense allocated in 2017, after the 10% forfeiture.

Expense allocated in 2017} ={(Total compensation cost of stock options ×(100%–10% of forfeiture) ×Number of years completed in vesting periodVesting period )Original expense allocated in 2016}=($120,000,000×90%×2 years3 years)–$40,000,000= $32,000,000 (3)

Note: Refer to Equation (1) for value and computation of total compensation cost, and Equation (2) for value of compensation expense in 2016.

Thus the forfeiture of 10% of stock options reduces the compensation expense of $40,000,000 to $32,000,000 in 2017.

Effect of forfeiture of stock options in 2018:

Date Account Titles and Explanation Post Ref. Debit ($) Credit ($)
2018        
    Compensation Expense   36,000,000
           Paid-In Capital – Stock Options   36,000,000
(To record changes in compensation expense due to forfeiture)

Table (2)

Working Notes:

Compute the new estimated expense allocated in 2018, after the 10% forfeiture.

Expense allocated in 2018}=[{Total compensation cost of stock options ×(100%–10% of forfeiture) ×Number of years of vesting period completedVesting period (2016 to 2018)}Original expense allocated in 2016–Expense allocated in 2017]=($120,000,000×90%×3 years3 years)–$40,000,000–$32,000,000= $36,000,000

Note: Refer to Equation (1) for value and computation of total compensation cost, Equations (2), and (3) for values of compensation expense in 2016 and 2017.

Thus the forfeiture of 10% of stock options reduces the compensation expense of $40,000,000 to $36,000,000 in 2018.

(4)

To determine

To explain: If the accounting method followed for forfeiture is in consistent with the usual method applied for changes in estimates

(4)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

No, the method is inconsistent.

Generally, the revised expense for changes in estimates which would be allocated to each year would be deducted by 10%, the original expense recorded in 2016 ($40,000,000) would be reduced from the revised total cost, 90% of total compensation cost ($120,000,000×90%=$108,000,000) , and the remaining balance, $68,000,000   ($108,000,000$40,000,000) , would be re-allocated on a straight line basis for other 2 years.

To determine

To journalize: The options exercised on July 22, 2020

Explanation of Solution

Journalize the entry for options exercised in the books of Corporation E.

Date Account Titles and Explanation Post Ref. Debit ($) Credit ($)
2020        
July 22 Cash   216,000,000
    Paid-in Capital – Stock Options   108,000,000
    Common Stock 18,000,000
    Paid-in Capital–Excess of Par 306,000,000
(To record purchase option exercised by stock option holders)

Table (3)

  • Cash is an asset account. Since cash is received, asset value increased, and an increase in asset is debited.
  • Paid-in Capital–Stock Options is a stockholders’ equity account. Since stock options are exercised and shares are issued, stock options value is decreased, and a decrease in equity is debited.
  • Common Stock is a stockholders’ equity account. Since stock options are exercised and shares are issued, common stock value increased, and an increase in equity is credited.
  • Paid-in Capital–Excess of Par is a stockholders’ equity account. Since stock options are exercised and shares are issued, excess of par value increased, and an increase in equity is credited.

Working Notes:

Compute cash received by Corporation E.

Cash received = {(Number of shares granted–Number of shares forfeited) × Exercise price×Reduced exercise price percentage}(20,000,000 shares –2,000,000 shares)× $15×80%= $216,000,000 (4)

Compute the paid-in capital of stock options amount.

Paid-in capital amount} = {Estimated fair market value of the option × (Number of shares granted–Number of shares forfeited)}= $6 × (20,000,000 shares2,000,000 shares)= $108,000,000 (5)

Compute the common stock amount.

Common stock amount} = {Par value per share × (Number of shares granted–Number of shares forfeited)}= $1 × (20,000,000 shares2,000,000 shares)= $18,000,000 (6)

Compute the paid-in capital–excess of par amount.

Paid-in capital–excess of par value} = {Cash received + Paid-in capital of stock options value – Common stock value}= $216,000,000 + $108,000,000 – $18,000,000= $306,000,000

Note: Refer to Equations (4), (5), and (6) for all the values.
