ember 31, 2020, and expire on January 1, 2024. Each option can be exercised to acquire one share of $1 par common stock for $12. An option-pricing model estimates the fair value of the options to be $5 on the date of grant. If unexpected turnover in 2019 caused the company to estimate that 10% of the options would be forfeited, what amount should M recognize as compensation expense for 2019?

Answer:

$120,000

Explanation:

Given that,

stock options = 90,000

Each option can be exercised to acquire one share of $1 par common stock for $12.

Total Value of the option = stock options × fair value of the options

                                          = $90,000 × $5

                                          = $450,000

company to estimate that 10% of the options would be forfeited, so,

= 90% of Total Value of the option

= 0.9 × $450,000

= $405,000

2 out of 3 years = $405,000 × 2/3

                           = $270,000

=\frac{Total\ value\ of\ the\ options}{no.\ of\ years}

=\frac{450,000}{3}

= $150,000

Compensation expense (2019) = $270,000 - $150,000

                                                    = $120,000

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

C. increase by about 6 percent.

Explanation:

Since,

\text{Contribution margin ratio}=\frac{\text{Sales-Variable expenses}}{\text{Sales}}

Sales = $ 120,

Original expenses = $ 65

Thus, contribution margin ratio = \frac{120-65}{120}=\frac{55}{120}=0.4583\approx 0.46

New expenses = $ 58,

Thus, contribution margin ratio = \frac{120-58}{120} = \frac{62}{120}=0.5166\approx 0.52

∵ 52 - 46 = 6,

Hence, the CMR is increased by 6%.

OPTION C is correct.

Option B, The predetermined overhead allocation rate is based on actual costs.

Explanation:

The term "pre-set overall rate" refers to the allocation rate at the outset of a project, which is based on the expected cost of overhead output for a certain reporting period.

This rate is often used to make book closure quicker as it eliminates estimation of real overhead costs as part of the closing process at the end of the period. Nevertheless, at least at the end of every fiscal year, the disparity between the real and expected overhead sums must be reconciled.

The predetermined rate is derived by calculation as follows:

Estimated amount of manufacturing overhead to be incurred in the period ÷ Estimated allocation base for the period
