CPA / CMA REVIEW QUESTIONS
CPA Exam Questions
1. c. The FASB requires companies with a history of forfeitures to use that
history in estimating the compensation expense allocated over the service
2. b. The total compensation is $24,000, the option model price of $8 each times
3. b. The key point is that the stock split is retroactive to the beginning of the
year.
20,000 (2.0, for stock split) + 10,000 (6/12, for new shares) = 45,000
5. b. Proceeds from exercise of options = 9,000 shs. $7 = $63,000
Used to repurchase common stock at average market price = $63,000 $9

6. c. The “if converted method” assumes that the preferred stock was converted to
common stock and that preferred dividends were not distributed. Therefore,
the numerator in the computation of diluted EPS would be the net income of
$900,000.
8. b. Under U.S. GAAP, for stock options, a deferred tax asset (DTA) is created
for the cumulative amount of the fair value of the options the company has

Problem 192
Requirement 1
We treat each individual vesting date as a separate award:
Vesting Number Fair Value Compensation
Date Vesting per Option Cost
Dec. 31, 2016 100,000 $3.50 $ 350,000
The compensation cost is allocated on a straight-line basis over the appropriate
vesting (service) period:
Shares Compensation Expense Recorded in:
Vesting at: 2016 2017 2018 2019
Dec. 31, 2016 $350,000
Also, a company must have recognized at least the amount vested by that date.
The allocation here meets that constraint:
The $825,000 recognized in 2016 exceeds the $350,000 vested.
page-pf9
Problem 192 (concluded)
Requirement 2
Companies are allowed to use the straight-line method. The $1,700,000 total
compensation cost is allocated equally to 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 at $425,000
per year. Also, a company must have recognized at least the amount vested by that
date. The straight-line allocation meets that constraint:
The $425,000 recognized in 2016 exceeds the $350,000 vested.

Problem 193
Requirement 1
We treat each individual vesting date as a separate award:
Vesting Number Fair Value Compensation
Date Vesting per Option Cost
Dec. 31, 2016 100,000 $4.50 $ 450,000
The compensation cost is allocated on a straight-line basis over the appropriate
vesting (service) period:
Shares Compensation Expense Recorded in:
Vesting at: 2016 2017 2018 2019
Dec. 31, 2016 $450,000
Also, a company must have recognized at least the amount vested by that date.
The allocation here meets that constraint:
The $937,500 recognized in 2016 exceeds the $450,000 vested.

Problem 193 (concluded)
Requirement 2
Companies are allowed to use the straight-line method. The $1,800,000 total
compensation cost is allocated equally to 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 at $450,000
per year. Notice that this approach is essentially the same as we use for options
that vest all at one time at the end of the vesting period (cliff-vesting). Also, a

Problem 194
Requirement 1
Using IFRS, the basic accounting would be the same as under U.S. GAAP, except
there is no specific requirement that a company must have recognized at least the
amount vested by that date. We treat each individual vesting date as a separate
award:
Vesting Number Fair Value Compensation
Date Vesting per Option Cost
Dec. 31, 2016 100,000 $3.50 $ 350,000
The compensation cost is allocated on a straight-line basis over the appropriate
vesting (service) period:
Shares Compensation Expense Recorded in:
Vesting at: 2016 2017 2018 2019
Dec. 31, 2016 $350,000
Requirement 2
Under IFRS companies are not permitted to use the straight-line method.

($ in millions)
Compensation expense ($36 million ÷ 3 years) ... 12.0
Note: Since the plan does not qualify as an incentive plan, JBL will deduct the
difference between the exercise price and the market price at the exercise
date. Recall from Chapter 16 that this creates a temporary difference
