Question

Weaver Industries implements a new share-based compensation plan in 2009. Under the plan, the company's CEO and CFO each will receive non-qualified stock options to purchase 200,000, no par shares. The options vest ratably (1/3 of the options each year) over three years, expire in 10 years, and have an exercise (strike) price of $18 per share. Weaver uses the Black-Scholes model to estimate a fair-value per option of $12. The company's tax rate is 40%.

(a) Use the financial statement effects template to record the compensation expense related to these options for each year 2009 through 2011. Include the effects of any anticipated deferred tax benefits.

Explanation / Answer

Calculate the compensation expenses as follows:

Compensation expenses = (200,000*12*2)/3 = 1,600,000

Calculate the differred tax benefits as follows:

Differred tax benefits=1600000*40% = 640,000
