Answer: a.)$25 ; b.) $30.96
Explanation:
A.) Stock's current price per share:
Net income = $1,000,000
Dividend paid = 0.40 x $1,000,000 = $400,000
Dividend per share before recapitalization = $400,000 / 200,000 = $2
Price of the share before recapitalization is calculated as:
D1 = $2 × 1.05 = $2.10
P0 = D1/Ke - g
= $2.10/ 0.134 - 0.05
= $25
B.) Portion of equity after recapitalization = (200, 000 x $25) - $1,000,000 = $4,000,000
Portion of debt = $1,000,000
Revised WACC after recapitalization = Ke x E/V + Kd(1-t) x D/V
= 0.145 x $4,000,000/$5,000,000 + 0.11 x (1-0.40) x $1,000,000/$5,000,000
= 0.1292
= 12.92%
Revised net income is calculated as:
Before tax income = $1,000,000/0.60 = $5M
Interest = 0.11 x $1,000,000 = $110,000
Earning before tax = $1556666
40% of tax = $622,666.4
Net income = $933,999.60
Revised dividend = $933,999.60 x 0.40 = $373599.84
DPS = $373599.84/(200,000 - ($1,000,000/$25))
$373599.84/160,000
= $2.335
Revised price of the share after recapitalization:
$2.335 x 1.05 / 0.1292 - 0.05
2.45175 / 0.0792
= $30.96
Metlock, Inc. began the year 2022 with retained earnings of $653000. During the year, the company sold additional shares of stock for $1009000, recorded revenues of $604000, expenses of $382000, and paid dividends of $134500. What was Metlock's retained earnings balance at the end of 2022?
Answer:
The retained earnings at end of 2022 is $740,500
Explanation:
In order to ascertain the balance of retained earnings at year end we need to first of all determine the net income in the current year.
The net income is sales revenue minus expenses
sales revenue is $604,000
expenses is $382,000
net income=$604,000-$382,000=$222,000
The closing retained earnings=opening retained earnings+net income-dividends
opening retained earnings is $653,000
dividends is $134,500
closing retained earnings=$653,000+$222,000-$134,500=$740,500

Answer:
Please see answer in the explanation below
Explanation:
Commodity money can be defined as money that its value comes from the commodity with which it was made. That is, commodity money is money that is gotten as a result of the material from which the money was made. Examples of these materials are silver, gold, etc. These materials have intrinsic value on their own as the materials have a worth of their own before being used to make currency.
Fiat money on the other hand is defined as money that is declared as the legal tender by the government. That means that fiat money is the money that is acceptable as a medium of exchange for goods and services as issued by the government. Fiat money does not have intrinsic value.

In the past, a car manufacturer advertised 0% financing on many of its models. For example, a particular model had a cash price of $13,174.09. However, if you elected to buy the car under the 0% financing deal, then the manufacturer used a price of $15,408. If you chose a 48-month term, then the manufacturer calculated your monthly loan payments using the 0% financing price instead of the cash price ($321 per month). In the fine print, the manufacturer was legally obliged to disclose the effective annual rate that it charged for the loan. What rate did the manufacturer disclose?
Answer:
Effective annual rate is 6.25%
Explanation:
Effective annual interest rate is real interest rate. Nominal rate does not reflect compounding interest or fees on some financial products like loans. Effective does and is calculated as following:
( 1+ i/n)^n - 1, where i is nominal interest rate and n is the number of periods. If 321 dollars is the sum of monthly payments calculated as 15.408 * x * 48/12= 321, which gives its effective monthly rate of 0.5% or annual rate of 6.25%.
Elevators, Inc. does considerable business overseas for high-rise luxury hotels. To speed up the building permit process, it authorized a project manager to pay a government official a "fee" in the amount of $500. It is common practice in the foreign country for government officials to accept a "fee" to expedite processes. In doing so, has Elevators, Inc. broken United States law? Select one: Group of answer choices Yes, Elevators, Inc. has broken the law because it has paid a bribe to a foreign government official. No, Elevators, Inc. has not broken the law because payment was made in United States currency. Yes, Elevators, Inc. has broken the law because the amount paid to the government official was $500. No, Elevators, Inc. has not broken the law because "grease" payments are permitted under United States law.
Answer:
No, Elevators, Inc. has not broken the law because "grease" payments are permitted under United States law.
Explanation:
Under the law, it is illegal to bribe foreign officials to obtain business. But there is an exception for “facilitation payments,” also known as grease payments made to speed up routine government actions.
Final answer:
Elevators, Inc. has broken U.S. law by paying a bribe to a foreign government official as per the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
Explanation:
The question revolves around whether Elevators, Inc. has violated United States law by authorizing a project manager to pay a foreign government official to expedite the building permit process. According to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), U.S. companies are prohibited from making payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Therefore, the act of paying a 'fee' to a foreign government official would be considered a bribe and is illegal under U.S. law, regardless of whether it is common practice in the foreign country or if the payment was made in U.S. currency.
Suppose that the relationship between sales (Y, in $000) and number of salespeople (X) is represented by the following regression equation: Y = 105.2 + 35.8X 38.Refer to Exhibit 13.3. What will be the average contribution to sales of one additional salesperson?
Answer:The mean of the 10 sales amounts for store A is $40,000
Explanation:
A 10 percent increase in income leads to a 15% decrease in the quantity of macaroni and cheese demanded but no change in the price of macaroni and cheese. From this information, we can assume: A 10 percent increase in income leads to a 15% decrease in the quantity of macaroni and cheese demanded but no change in the price of macaroni and cheese. From this information, we can assume:_______.
a. macaroni is a normal good and price elasticity of demand is greater than 1.
b. macaroni is an inferior good and price elasticity of supply is equal to zero.
c. macaroni is an inferior good and price elasticity of supply is infinite.
d. macaroni is an inferior good and price elasticity of demand is less than.
Answer:
macaroni is an inferior good and price elasticity of supply is infinite.
Explanation:
An inferior good is a good whose demand increases when income falls and falls when income increases.
A normal good is a good whose demand increases when income rises and decreases when income falls.
Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price.
Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change price
Percentage change in quantity supplied = not given
Percentage change in price = 0 (because the question states that there was no change in price)
Any figure divided by zero gives infinity.
I hope my answer helps you
Final answer:
Macaroni and cheese is an inferior good, as demand decreases when income increases, showing a negative income elasticity of demand. The correct answer option is (b), implying the price elasticity of supply is zero, although this is an assumption based on the context given. The correct option is b.
Explanation:
A 10 percent increase in income leads to a 15% decrease in the quantity of macaroni and cheese demanded but no change in the price of macaroni and cheese. This information suggests that macaroni and cheese is an inferior good. When we talk about the income elasticity of demand, it refers to the ratio of the percentage change in demand to the percentage change in income. In the case of an inferior good, this elasticity is negative, indicating that as income increases, quantity demanded decreases. It is important to note that this situation does not necessarily relate to the price elasticity of supply, which measures how much the quantity supplied of a good changes in response to changes in price. Since the price of macaroni and cheese does not change, we cannot infer about the price elasticity of supply.
The correct option is therefore (b): 'macaroni is an inferior good and price elasticity of supply is equal to zero.' This implies that despite changes in income, the price of macaroni and cheese stays constant, assuming that supply is perfectly inelastic within the context of the question. However, the typical definition of a supply with price elasticity of zero would mean that the quantity supplied does not change regardless of the price change. Since the question does not provide information on how the quantity supplied is affected by the price, this interpretation is an assumption.
Therapeutic Corporation makes medical devices that are subject to extensive government regulation and undergo a rigorous premarket approval process. In a design defect product liability suit against Therapeutic by a party allegedly
injured by one of the devices, the company can most successfully raise the defense of
a. preemption.
b. assumption of risk.
c. comparative negligence.
d. knowledgeable user.
Answer:
A. Preemption
Explanation:
In the case of injury, the company can raise a defense of preemption given that a state is prohibited from safety requirements different from the federal requirements. Hence, since the medical device underwent rigorous premarket approval process, the company could get complete immunity for design defect liability. For devices that go through the premarket approval process (PMA), companies are assumed to be immunize from common personal injury caused by device defect.
Ricky is 35 years old. He plans to retire when he is 63. He has opened a retirement account that pays 3.2% interest compounded monthly. If he makes monthly deposits of $400, how much will he have in the account by the time he retired?
Answer:
Amount received = 217,043.56 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Monthly deposit = $400
Interest rate = 3.2% / 12 = 0.002667 per month
Number of year = 63 year - 35 year = 28 year
Number of period = 28 × 12 month = 336 month
Computation:
[tex]Amount \ received = PMT[\frac{(1+r)^n-1}{r} ]\\\\Amount \ received = 400[\frac{(1+0.002667)^{336}-1}{0.002667} ]\\\\Amount \ received =400[\frac{(1.002667)^{336}-1}{0.002667} ]\\\\Amount \ received =400[\frac{2.44713794-1}{0.002667} ]\\\\Amount \ received =400[\frac{1.44713794}{0.002667} ]\\\\Amount \ received =400[542.608901]\\\\Amount \ received =217,043.56\\\\[/tex]
Amount received = 217,043.56 (Approx)
Ricky will have approximately $216,101.85 in his retirement account by the time he retires.
Explanation:To calculate the amount Ricky will have in his retirement account, we can use the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
A is the final amount in the accountP is the initial deposit (monthly deposit)r is the annual interest rate expressed as a decimaln is the number of times interest is compounded per yeart is the number of yearsIn Ricky's case:
P = $400 (monthly deposit)r = 3.2% = 0.032n = 12 (compounded monthly)t = 63 - 35 = 28 (years)Using these values in the formula:
[tex]A = 400(1 + 0.032/12)^(^1^2^*^2^8^)[/tex]
A ≈ $216,101.85
Therefore, Ricky will have approximately $216,101.85 in his retirement account by the time he retires.

Direct Denial is method for answering or replying possible buyers by making use of strong statements telling the person willing to buy that an error has been made.
Firms participate in strategic alliances for all of the following reasons EXCEPT to: Group of answer choices retain tight control over intangible core competencies. enter competitive markets more quickly. create value that they could not develop by acting independently. gain access to resources.
Answer:
Retain a tight control over intangible core competencies
Explanation:
Strategic strategy is defined as the coming together of different firms in order to achieve a shared or common objective , while still remain as individual firms. It believes in the principle o synergy that individuals will achieve more if they perform a common task together rather than combining the individual result of the same task performed different. (1+1 greater than 2)
However , this can not give a control over intangible core competencies of members companies.
Answer:
Retain tight control over intangible core competencies.
Explanation:
Strategic alliances are considered as agreements that exist between two companies to carry out a project while being independent. This project is beneficial to both parties. It does not require the complexities that exist in a joint venture which makes the agreement less binding.
Some reasons for strategic alliances is to improve the product line of a company or to penetrate a new market or to have an edge over a competitor.
Companies work hand-in-hand to achieve a mutually beneficial goal or target.
Karena was laid off, but she is expecting to be recalled. She has not looked for work since being laid off. Nathan is not employed, nor was he laid off. Who is counted as "unemployed" in the U.S. labor force statistics?
Answer:
B. 1) Karena and 2) Nathan, if Nathan has looked for work during the previous four weeks
Explanation:
Both Karena and Nathan are counted as unemployed according to the U.S labor force statistics.
Unemployment refers to the inability of a willing and able Individual who falls in the labor force category of a country to get a suitable job.
The labor force age group of countries differ from each other but it is usually between the age of 18-65 years.
Unemployment is a situation in which a person who is willing to work coupled and has ability(phycal, emotional) to work does not get a job.
There are different types of unemployment which includes:
1. Structural unemployment
2. Cyclical unemployment
3. Seasonal unemployment
4. Frictional unemployment
5. Underemployment
The correct answer is that Karena is counted as unemployed in the U.S. labor force statistics.
To be classified as unemployed according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), an individual must meet the following criteria:
1. They must be jobless.
2. They must be available to work.
3. They must have actively looked for work in the prior four weeks or are waiting to be recalled to a job from which they have been temporarily laid off.
Karena was laid off and is expecting to be recalled. Even though she has not looked for work since being laid off, she is considered unemployed because she is jobless, available to work, and waiting to be recalled to her previous job.
Nathan, on the other hand, is not employed and also was not laid off. Since there is no mention of him actively looking for work in the prior four weeks, he would not be counted as part of the labor force and thus would not be considered unemployed. Individuals who are not employed and not actively looking for work are classified as not in the labor force.
Therefore, based on the criteria set by the BLS, Karena is the one who is counted as unemployed in the U.S. labor force statistics.

A. top management.
B. middle management.
C. supervisory management.
D. forward management.
Answer: Jimmy is now a member of SUPERVISORY MANAGEMENT.
Explanation: Supervisory management in an organisation is defined as a person with the official task of overseeing the work of a person or group, or of other operations and activities.
They are directly responsible for supervising workers and evaluating daily performance.
They spend most of their time on technical and human relations skills.
Final answer:
Jimmy's promotion to a role where he is in charge of assigning work and evaluating the performance of a crew at Hendrix Construction puts him in the category of supervisory management, which is answer C.
Explanation:
After working as a laborer for Hendrix Construction for thirteen years, Jimmy has been promoted to a role where he is responsible for assigning work and evaluating the performance of his crew. This promotion positions Jimmy in the role of supervisory management, as he is now in charge of overseeing his coworkers on a daily basis and ensuring that their work meets company standards. He is not a part of the top management, which deals with the overall direction and strategy of the company, nor is he part of middle management, which typically involves managers who oversee several junior managers or departments. His role does not align with the nonspecific term 'forward management.'
The answer to the question is C. supervisory management. This level of management is essential in businesses for maintaining a direct operational control over the tasks at hand and providing immediate guidance and supervision to the members of the work crew.

D. Small firms are usually familiar with foreign market opportunities.
E. Large firms do not consider exporting until their domestic market is saturated.
Answer:
Exporters often face voluminous paperwork, complex formalities and many potential delays and errors
Explanation:
A valid defense by Mary Adams for the delay in processing exports will be one that is a real challenge and is relevant to the inquiry being made.
Exporters normally deal with large volume of paperwork that shows details of exports, approvals, letters of credit, and other relevant information related to the transaction.
Apart from this access to foreign exchange, formalities of custom processes, and dealing with clearing agents wastes a lot of time.
A valid excuse for Mary to make will be: exporters often face voluminous paperwork, complex formalities and many potential delays and errors
The original capacity of the equipment is 10,000 units per year. After paying $2,500 to replace an important part, the company increases the capacity of equipment to 12,000 units per year. How does the company deal with the $2,500 expenditures
Answer:
The firm must increase the value of the equipment account by $2,500.
Explanation:
In this case, the repair expense must capitalize the asset account and not be considered an expense, instead it should be considered an additional investment. The $2,500 should be depreciated along with the normal depreciation of the equipment since it increased the productive capacity significantly.
Two leading home appliance companies, Redwood Inc. and Boxer Technologies, are in competition for market share. In their quest for exciting new products, Redwood employs an open innovation model, while Boxer pursues a closed innovation model. Which of the following statements is most likely true?
A. Redwood is most concerned with securing first-mover advantages.
B. Boxer will protect its intellectual property with patents and trade secrets.
C. Redwood has a greater chance of capturing market share.
D. Boxer has a superior absorptive capacity.

Deductible expenses refer to expenses which can be deducted from a firm's total income before it can be subjected to tax. Expenses can either be deductibles or non deductibles. When referring to deductibles we mean, expenses which are incurred during the course of service. For example, when travelling for the inspection of a work,the air tickets, hotel bills and meal tickets are deductibles. Meanwhile, in determining non deductibles, we mean, expenses which do not affect tax activities. These include, insurance, capital equipment personal activities, political donations or funding and charitable doings.
Here, everything in the question is assumed as deductibles because they are incurred in the course of service and they affect tax activities
Answer:
B ($5,6500)
Explanation:
Deductible expenses are the expenses incurred in the course of conducting normal business activity and qualify to be claimed from the company's income before it is presented for tax purpose. These expenses must be directly related to business purpose. Examples are administrative expenses , travelling , automobile expenses etc.
Some are claimed immediately while some are spread over a period of time and some seemingly business related expenses like bribe , traffic ticket are not qualified for deduction.
Workings
Plane fare - $4000
Hotel - $1000
Meals $400 ( 50% can be claimed as personal element is included )
Entertainment $250 (50% can be claimed as it includes personal element)
Total deductible expenses - $5650
Refresh Inc.’s debt to Spring Water Company is past due. Spring brings a legal action against Refresh to collect the debt. Spring asks the court to order Tempo Bank, in which Refresh has an account, to pay a portion of the funds to Spring.
This is a request for:
A. a writ of execution.
B. an order of garnishment.
C. an order that would violate most state laws.
D. an artisan’s lien.
Answer:
The correct option is B,an order of garnishment.
Explanation:
An order of garnishment is a way of enforcing court judgement whereby a third party who is indebted to the judgement debtor is ordered by the court to pay the damages awarded against the judgement debtor directly to the judgement creditor.
In this instance,Refresh Inc, is the judgement debtor whereas Spring Water Company is the judgement creditor(beneficiary of the judgement) and Tempo Bank is the third party that would act on the order of the court.
The request from Spring Water Company to the court is known as an order of garnishment. This legal tool directs a third party owed money by the debtor to instead pay the creditor. It is commonly used in debt collection.
Explanation:Spring Water Company's request to the court is known as an order of garnishment. An order of garnishment is where a court orders a third party that owes money to the debtor to instead pay the debt to the creditor. In this case, the court would order Tempo Bank to pay the funds that Refresh Inc. has in its account to Spring instead of giving it to Refresh. This type of order can be used to collect debts when the debtor fails to pay as agreed. It does not violate most state laws, and it is a common legal tool used in debt collection. It's unrelated to a writ of execution, artisan’s lien, or any violations of state laws.

In order to compare the real estate markets in pittsburgh and philadelphia, what are the things that you should consider?
Answer:
When comparing the real estate market of any region or state, there are factors for consideration:
a) Population size
b) Employment status
c) Real estate market
d) Renting strength
e) Price
f) Quality in terms of home structure and a serene environment.
Explanation:
In the question, there are two American cities up for comparison: The city of Pittsburgh and the Philadelphia city, both in the Pennsylvania region. Both cities have comfortable environments which are habitable but here, we have to choose or rather compare both. The first factor is the population size. The two cities which are in the same region, have a considerable population size but when compared, Philadelphia has the upper hand. In real estate business, population is key as a region which a better and fuller population is appreciated more. The second factor is the employment status of the inhabitants. The employment status of these two cities are commendable but Pittsburgh is quite flabbergasting. The employment rate of Pittsburgh to Philadelphia is up to 57%. Employment status is a key determinant when real estate market is mentioned because employed persons are the ones who can actually pay when due. The third factor is the real estate market. This is another factor which is very important in determining the cities' real estate market. Over the years, Philadelphia has shown positive signs of a healthy real estate market which nicks that of Pittsburgh. Other factors listed above have clearly been favourable to Philadelphia because of their location but in terms of price, Pittsburgh appears cheaper with an average price of $1258 compared to Philadelphia's $1,652.
Final answer:
To compare the real estate markets in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, consider average sale prices, demographic data, population density, and history. Also, compare renting vs. buying a home by examining long-term investment potential and overall costs.
Explanation:
When comparing the real estate markets in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, you should take into account a variety of factors. These include average sale prices, the advantages and disadvantages of renting vs. buying a home, and demographic data in different zip codes. Look at household income, education attainment, and access to amenities like grocery stores, bus and subway stops. Additionally, consider the population density and historical development of the areas.
To get a more accurate picture of the real estate market, one method is to collect data on the sale prices for a number of homes recently listed, say 35, as this can give you a sense of the market's pricing trends. To understand the broader market influences, one can analyze the location's infrastructure and socio-economic indicators, which might include availability of essential services and transportation options.
Both renting and buying a home have their own advantages and disadvantages. Renting can provide flexibility and lower upfront costs, while buying is generally seen as an investment that can build equity over time. However, buying also comes with higher initial costs and potential maintenance responsibilities.

Suppose a basket of goods and services has been selected to calculate the consumer price index (CPI) and 2002 has been chosen as the base year. In 2002, the basket’s cost was $76.00; in 2004, the basket’s cost was $79.50; and in 2006, the basket’s cost was $85.00. The value of the CPI (rounded up) was: Group of answer choices no more than 90 in 2001. at least 118 in 2007. 120 in 2006. 90 in 2002. 105 in 2004.
Answer:
105 in 2004.
Explanation:
year basket price CPI
2002 $76.00 100
2004 $79.50 105
2006 $85.00 112
2004 CPI = $79.50 / $76 = 1.05 x 100 = 105
2006 CPI = $85 / $76 = 1.12 x 100 = 112

Ralph owns a small pizza restaurant, where he works full-time in the kitchen. His total revenue last year was $100,000, and his rent was $3,000 per month. He pays his one employee $2,000 per month, and the cost of ingredients and overhead averages $500 per month. Ralph could earn $35,000 per year as the manager of a competing pizza restaurant nearby. His total economic profit for the year was:___________
a. –$35,000.
b. –$1,000.
c. $20,000.
d. $34,000.
e. $65,000.
Answer:
His total economic profit for the year was –$1,000. The right answer is b.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the total economic profit for the year, we have to use the following formula:
Total economic profit = total revenue - total explicit cost - implicit cost =
Acording to the data:
Total Revenue=$100,000
Total explicit cost= ($3,000×12)+($2,000×12)+($500×12)=$ 66,000
implicit cost= $ 35,000
Hence, Total economic profit= $100,000 - $66,000 - $35,000 = -$1,000
A married couple's retirement annuity pays them $250 per month. The husband dies and his wife continues to receive $125.50 per month for as long as she lives. When the wife dies, payments stop. What settlement option did they select?
a. joint and survivor
b. joint annuity
Answer:
A
Explanation:
With this joint and survivor annuity, the married couple gets a payout of 250 dollars as long as they are alive. As the husband dies, his wife would receive 125 dollars for the rest of her life, which only amounts to 50% of the original payment. Monthly payments are lower compared to single-life annuity this is because the joint and survivor covers both the man and his wife. But however, at the death of the man's wife, the payment she was receiving stops too.
Final answer:
The settlement option selected by the married couple for their retirement annuity is the a. 'joint and survivor' option, as it provides continued payments to the surviving spouse at a reduced rate.
Explanation:
The married couple selected the joint and survivor settlement option for their retirement annuity. This option allows for the surviving spouse to continue receiving payments after the death of the other spouse, although at a reduced amount.
Monthly payments are lower compared to single-life annuity this is because the joint and survivor covers both the man and his wife. But however, at the death of the man's wife, the payment she was receiving stops too. When the wife continues to receive $125.50 per month after her husband's death, it indicates that the annuity was arranged to provide a survivor benefit, which is a characteristic of the joint and survivor option.
White company is a calendar-year firm with operations in several countries. at january 1, 2018, the company had issued 10,000 executive stock options permitting executives to buy 10,000 shares of stock for $25. the vesting schedule is 30% the first year, 30% the second year, and 40% the third year (graded-vesting). the fair value of the options is estimated as follows: vesting date amount vesting fair value per option dec. 31, 2018 30 % $ 2.80 dec. 31, 2019 30 % $ 3.00 dec. 31, 2020 40 % $ 3.75 what is the compensation expense related to the options to be recorded in 2019?
Answer:
The compensation expense related to the options to be recorded in 2019 is $9,500.
Explanation:
The relevant fair value at Dec. 31, 2019 = (10,000 × 30% × $3) × (1/2) = $9,000 × 0.5 = $4,500
The relevant fair value at Dec. 31, 2020 = (10,000 × 40% × $3.75) × (1/3) = $15,000 × (1/3) = $5,000
Compensation expense = $4,500 + $5,000 = $9,500
Therefore, the compensation expense related to the options to be recorded in 2019 is $9,500.
Final answer:
For White company, the compensation expense recorded for stock options in 2019 is $9,000, which is calculated based on the vesting of 3,000 options at a fair value of $3.00 per option.
Explanation:
The compensation expense related to the stock options to be recorded in 2019 for White company is based on the vesting schedule and the fair value of the options on the vesting dates. According to the given information, 30% of the options vested in 2018 with a fair value of $2.80 and another 30% vested in 2019 with a fair value of $3.00. As per the graded-vesting schedule, 3,000 options (30% of 10,000) vest in 2019. To calculate the compensation expense for 2019, you need to multiply the number of options vested in 2019 by the fair value per option granted in 2019.
Therefore, the compensation expense for 2019 is 3,000 options × $3.00, which equals $9,000.
