Stock appreciation rights (SARs) are a type of employee compensation linked to the company's stock price during a predetermined period. SARs are profitable for employees when the company's stock price rises, which makes them similar to employee stock options (ESOs). However, employees do not have to pay the exercise price with SARs. Instead, they receive the sum of the increase in stock or cash.
SAR value for the year 2020 = (29-23)*10000
= 60000.
But till date SAR value = (29-20)*10000= 90000.
This is the total SAR value for the year 2019&2020.
