Exercise 16-10
On November 1, 2017, Pharoah Company adopted a stock-option plan
that granted options to key executives to purchase 37,500 shares of
the company’s $10 par value common stock. The options were granted
on January 2, 2018, and were exercisable 2 years after the date of
grant if the grantee was still an employee of the company. The
options expired 6 years from date of grant. The option price was
set at $40, and the fair value option-pricing model determines the
total compensation expense to be $562,500.
All of the options were exercised during the year 2020: 25,000 on
January 3 when the market price was $66, and 12,500 on May 1 when
the market price was $75 a share.
Prepare journal entries relating to the stock option plan for the
years 2018, 2019, and 2020. Assume that the employee performs
services equally in 2018 and 2019.
