Problem 19–7
Requirement 1
No entry until the end of the reporting period, but compensation must be
estimated at the grant date:
options fair estimated
expected value total
to vest per option compensation
Requirement 2
December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 ($ in millions)
Requirement 3
If, after two years, LCI estimates that it is not probable that the performance goals
will be met, then the new estimate of the total compensation would change to:
options fair estimated
expected value total
to vest per option compensation
In that case, LCI would reverse the $6 million expensed in 2018–2019 because no
compensation can be recognized for options that don’t vest due to performance
targets not being met, and that’s the new expectation.
December 31, 2020 ($ in millions)
December 31, 2021
No entry
