On January 1, 2021, Whispering Inc. granted stock options to officers and key employees for the purchase of 18,000 shares of the company's $10 par common stock at $23 per share. The options were exercisable within a 5-year period beginning January 1, 2023, by grantees still in the employ of the company, and expiring December 31, 2027. The service period for this award is 2 years. Assume that the fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation expense to be $343,400.
On April 1, 2022, 1,800 options were terminated when the employees resigned from the company. The market price of the common stock was $36 per share on this date.
On March 31, 2023, 10,800 options were exercised when the market price of the common stock was $41 per share.
