On October 15, 2020, the board of directors of Ensor Materials Corporation approved a stock option plan for key executives. On J

anuary 1, 2021, 32 million stock options were granted, exercisable for 32 million shares of Ensor's $1 par common stock. The options are exercisable between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2026, at 80% of the quoted market price on January 1, 2021, which was $30. The fair value of the 32 million options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $6 per option. Ensor chooses the option to recognize forfeitures only when they occur.
Ten percent (2.6 million) of the options were forfeited when an executive resigned in 2022. All other options were exercised on July 12, 2025, when the stock’s price jumped unexpectedly to $25 per share.Required:1. When is Ensor’s stock option measurement date?2.

Answer:

1. The Ensor's stock measurement date is January 01, 2021

2. Compensation expense for the stock option is $50 million

3. Please see journal entry in the explanation below.

Explanation:

1. It was clearly indicated in the question that on January 1, 2021 , 32 million stock options were granted hence measurement date is ; 1st of January, 2021

2. The fair value per stock option is $6

Therefore, total compensation expenses = $6 × 25 million

= $150 million

Since the options are exerciseable between 01/01/2024 and 01/01/2026

The period for vesting will be 3 years from 01/01/2021 - 31/12/2023

Therefore, the compensation expense for the stock option in year 2021 = Total compensation expense/ Vesting period

= $150 million /3

= $50 million

3. Since 2.6 million(10%) were forfeited, 90% represent the remaining unforfeited. I. e (100%-10%)=90%

In 2022, which is the second year of the vesting period, compensation expense would be;

Compensation expense of 2022 = (Total compensation expense * 90% * the order of the period / Number of period - Compensation expense of

2021

= $150 million *90% *2/3 - $50 million

=$40 million.

In 2023,

institution ID Institution II 1. finances budget deficits. 1. loans funds to the banking system. 2. Sells newly issued governmen
mars1129 [50]

Answer: The answer is central bank

Explanation:

Budget deficit : This is when government total proposed expenditure for a period is more than the total estimated revenue. When this happens, government get the money to finance the deficit in the budget from the central bank or ask the central bank to print more currency or get aid and grant from foreign aid donors to finance the deficit.

Loan fund to the banking system: This is a function of central bank when they act as lenders of last resort to the commercial bank. If people begins to withdraw their money from commercial banks, the banks may be placed in such a position that they will not have enough cash to pay their customers. They will run to the central bank to borrow money or to rediscount bills and the central bank must not refuse to come to the aid of commercial banks in order to prevent banking crisis which may shake a country's economy.

Sells newly issued government bond : This is when central bank wants to reduce the volume of money in circulation, the central bank sells bond or securities in the open market .people buy with cheque drawn on their deposits in the commercial banks. The central bank then presents the cheque to the commercial bank and draw on their cash reserves by this the cash reserve of commercial banks is reduced and reduce the supply of money in the economy.

Create money out of thin air: This is the central bank function of issuing notes, it is the legal authority to issue notes. When new notes are to be put into circulation, this is done by the central bank .but the new notes are set into circulation through the commercial banks.

Control the money supply : This is the function of central bank to regulate the volume of money in circulation or to mop up excess liquidity in the economy by selling treasury bill through the open market to the members of the public .It collect money from the commercial banks this will reduce the cash reserves of commercial banks and reduce their loan given capacity.

Government bonds, the money supply : The central bank is the legal authority to sell government bonds in order to mop up the excess liquidity in the economy. When their is too much money in circulation, the central bank make use of monetary policy instruments such as the open market operation to reduce the supply of money in circulation.
