Cammie received 100 NQOs (each option provides a right to purchase 10 shares of MNL stock for $10 per share) at the time she started working for MNL Corporation (5/1/Y1) four years ago when MNL’s stock price was $8 per share.

Now (8/15/Y5) that MNL’s stock price is $40 per share, she intends to exercise all of her options. After acquiring the 1,000 MNL shares with her options, she held the shares for over one year (10/1/Y6) and sold them at $60 per share.

a) What are Cammie’s taxes due on the grant date (5/1/Y1), exercise date

b) What are MNL Corporation’s tax savings on grant date (5/1/Y6), exercise date

(8/15/Y5), and sale date (10/1/Y6), assuming its marginal tax rate is 35 percent?
