Question - JenCo has the following common shares on its balance sheet at December 31, 2016, the company's year-end: Common shares, no par, unlimited authorized, 121,000 issued and outstanding $4,260,000.

On January 1, 2017, JenCo granted 3,900 non-transferable stock options to each of its 3 senior executives. The stock options provide that each individual will be eligible to purchase, no earlier than December 31, 2021, 3,900 common shares at a base option price of $75 per share. On the option grant date, an option-pricing model assigned a value to the options equal to $86,500. JenCo follows ASPE and has chosen to account for forfeitures as they occur.

One individual who received the options exercised the options on December 31, 2021, when the share price was $115. The second individual did not exercise her options.
