Executive stock options:
A. Allow the holder the option to buy shares at a specified exercise price during a specified period of time.
B. Allow the holder the option to buy shares at a specified exercise price any time prior to the executive ceasing to be employed by the firm.
C. Are expensed at their intrinsic value.
D. Permit executives to purchase restricted stock.
Answer is Option A
Now lets why other option are wrong
Option B Because there is a gestation period during which holder of
option has to be in continious employment of the firm therefore
statment B is incomplete as Executive has to serve a period defined
under this option where as B states it can be exercised any time
prior to executive ceasing to be employed by the firm.
Option C states that Are expensed at their intrinsic value while
they are expensed according to stock options fair value.
Option D states that Permit executives to purchase restricted stock
no because in the scheme predifined number of stocks are given to
executive, from which he can either exercise his right to buy all
shares or some percentage of it.
