On November 1, 2019, the stockholders adopted a stock option plan for top executives whereby each might receive rights to purchase up to 30,000 shares of common stock at $40 per share. The par value is $10 per share. On January 1, 2020, options were granted to each of five executives to purchase 30,000 shares. The options were non-transferable and the executive had to remain an employee of the company to exercise the option. It is assumed that the options were for services performed equally in 2020 and 2021. The Black-Scholes option pricing model determines total compensation expense to be $3,200,000.
