Chap 19 part 1 Stock based compensation

Under its executive stock option plan, National Corporation granted options on January 1, 2016, that permit executives to purchase 30 million of the companys $1 par common shares within the next eight years, but not before December 31, 2018 (the vesting date). The exercise price is the market price of the shares on the date of grant, $31 per share. The fair value of the options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $4 per option. Suppose that the options expire without being exercised.
