The par value is $10 per share. On 2/1/20, options were granted to each of five executives to purchase 30,000 shares. The options expire on 2/1/22. It is assumed that the options were for services performed equally in 2020 and 2021. The Black-Scholes option pricing model determines total compensation expense to be $3,200,000.
