On November $1,2022,$ Sheffield Inc. adopted a stock$-$option plan that granted options to key executives to purchase $38,500$ shares of

the company's common shares. The options were granted on January $2,2023,$ and were exercisable $2$ years after the date of grant if

the grantee was still an employee of the company. The options expired $6$ years from date of grant. The option price was set at $$40,$ and

the fair value option$-$pricing model determines the total compensation expense to be $$455,000.$

All of the options were exercised during the year $2025$: $21,400$ on January $3$ when the market price was $$67,$ and $17,100$ on May $1$

when the market price was $$77$ a share.

Prepare journal entries relating to the stock option plan for the years $2023,2024,$ and $2025.$ Assume that the employee performs
