stock options for 100,000 shares at P38 per shares as additional compensation for
services to be rendered over the next three years. The option is exercisable during a
2-year period beginning January 1, 2018, by grantee still employed by Clash. Market

PFRS 2 mandates that the fair value method shall be used in measuring the compensation
arising from share options. This means that the compensation is equal to the fair value of
the share options on the date of grant.
The compensation is recognized as expense over the vesting or service period of 3 years.

price of stock on January 1, 2014, was P20 per share. The fair value of each stock

d. 400,000

and exercise of the options?
a. 200,000
b. 300,000
c. 500,000
d. 700,000
Observe that the options vest immediately and therefore the total fair value of the share
options is recognized as expense in full in 2014. The effect of the above entry on
shareholder's equity is offsetting.
The effect of the above entry on shareholder equity is (500, 000 – 300, 000) = 200, 000
