.....company would expense the 1000 share options at $15 (1000 x $15 = $15,000), as this was fair market value at the time of expense, based on Black-Scholes (Harper, 2017). In 2014, the expense would be $3 per share option (1000 x $3 = $3,000), because that is the amount of increase in the value of the options that derives from the change in the exercise price.The accounting for the awards would change after the options became fully vested, because the value of the options would no longer be based on Black-Scholes. Instead, the options would be based on the difference between the new exercise price and the old exercise price. After the options have vested, there is no longer any time value to the options, so an options model for pricing is no longer necessary -- they are just shares at that point because the employees no longer need to be compensated for time risk as they can sell any time they want; ergo, they face no time risk.
The year 2 accounting would not change. The award was not given in this year. The fair value of the award will fluctuate but stock options...
Once the employees have the options, they have them. The only accounting issue is when the value of the options is changed by the company changing the conditions of the options. That did not happen in year two -- that the company determined it was unlikely for the condition to be met is not a change in the term of the options, just a change in the perceived odds of the options being exercised.
4. The cost would change at the end of 2014 (end of Y3) given that the company changed the terms of the award. The change in terms increased the value of the options, and therefore the accounting would reflect the difference between the new value of the options and the value of the options prior to the change. That difference would be expensed, because that is the amount that the company is topping up the options with. At the end of Y4, there would not be any change to the accounting -- it would just reflect whether or not the options were exercised, and at what value. The amount is not known -- we know the new value…
