Chapter 19, Problem 19.2E

a.

To determine

To prepare: The journal entriesrecording of compensation expense over the vesting period.

Giveninformation:

Number of shares as an option is10,000.

Par value of common stock is $2.

Exercise price per share is $18.

Vesting time period is 2 years.

Estimated fair value at the grant date is $250,000 $\left(10,000\text{ shares}\times \$2.5\text{ per share}\right)$

Initial vesting probability is 100%.

b.

To determine

To prepare: The journal entries for recording of compensation expense over the vesting period.

Given information:
