To record compensation expense for 2016:
- Compensation Expense is an expense account. Expenses and losses decrease Equity account. Therefore, debit Compensation Expense account with $48,608.
- Paid-in Capital from Share Options is a shareholders’ equity account. Since share options are granted, company’s stock amount has increased. Therefore, credit Paid-in Capital from Share Options account with $48,608.

Table (5)
To record purchase options exercised by share option holders:
- Cash is an asset account. Since share options are exercised and shares are purchased for cash, cash is received. Therefore, debit Cash account with $450,000.
- Paid-in Capital from Share Options is a shareholders’ equity account. Since share options which are granted are exercised, the entry is reversed and cancelled for options exercised. Therefore, debit Paid-in Capital from Share Options account with $155,000.
- Common Stock is a shareholders’ equity account. Since share options which are granted are exercised and shares are sold, common stock amount increased. Therefore, credit Common Stock account with $100,000.
- Additional Paid-in Capital on Common Stock is a shareholders’ equity account. Since share options which are granted are exercised and shares are sold for more than par value, additional capital amount increased. Therefore, credit Additional Paid-in Capital on Common Stock account with $505,000.
To record the expired purchase options:
- Paid-in Capital from Share Options is a shareholders’ equity account. Since share options which are granted are expired, the entry is reversed and cancelled for options expired. Therefore, debit Paid-in Capital from Share Options account with $55,800.
- Additional Paid-in Capital on Common Stock is a shareholders’ equity account. Since share options which were granted earlier, the shares were sold for more than par value, additional capital amount increased. Therefore, credit Additional Paid-in Capital on Common Stock account with $55,800.

Identify whether there is a problem with the terms of Corporation P’s share option plan are structured and explain the same.
4.
Explanation of Solution
Identify whether there is a problem with the terms of Corporation P’s share option plan:
- Company P granted performance based share option plan on the basis of increase in sales.
- Company P shipped the inventory under ‘FOB destination’ terms, which means that sale of inventory is recorded when the inventory reaches the destination.
- The problem was that Company P recorded the sales of inventory before the inventory reached the destination, resulting in increase of sales towards the end of 2018, when the options would be exercised.
- Out of 68 options vested, 50 were exercised when the market price was $62, and 18 options expired due to decrease in market price. This resulted in increase of additional paid-in capital.
