HW Ch 19.1 (LO 19.1-7)
On October 15,2020 , the board of directors of Ensor Materials Corporation approved a stock option plan for key executives. On January 1, 2021, 28 million stock options were granted, exercisable for 28 million shares of Ensor's $1 par common stock. The options are exercisable between January 1, 2024, and December 31,2026 , at 90% of the quoted market price on January 1, 2021, which was $10. The fair value of the 28 million options, estimated by an appropriate option pricing model, is $6 per option. Ensor chooses the option to recognize forfeitures only when they occur. Ten percent (2.8 million) of the options were forfeited when an executive resigned in 2022 . All other options were exercised on July 12 , 2025 , when the stock's price jumped unexpectedly to $26 per share. Required: 1. When is Ensor's stock option measurement date? 2. Determine the compensation expense for the stock option plan in 2021. (Ignore taxes.) 3.
