Allied Electronics offered an incentive stock plan to its employees. On January 1, Year 1, 100,000 options were granted for 100,000 $10 par common shares. The exercise price equals the $25 market price of the common stock on the grant date. The vesting period is 3 years. The options cannot be exercised before January 1, Year 4, and expire on December 31, Year 5. Each option has a value of $15 based upon an option pricing model.
At the end of the first year, it is expected that 100% of employees will exercise the options. By the end of Year 2, it is expected that only 80% of the options will be exercised. Allied chooses to adjust the fair value of options for the estimated forfeitures.
What are the journal entries to reflect the first year and second years' compensation expense? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Only round your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
