Final Grade



1.      Discuss with your team the following case study:

Client X offers a generous employee compensation package that includes employee stock options. The exercise price has always been equal to the market price of the stock at the date of the grant. The corporate controller, John Jones, believes that employee stock options, like all obligations to issue the corporation's own stock, are equity. The new staff accountant, Marcy Means, disagrees. Marcy argues that when a company issues the stock for less than the current value, the value of pre-existing stockholders' shares is diluted.

 

Pretend you are hired to debate the issue of the proper treatment of options written on a company's own stock.

 

Write a team paper response of 550 to 700 words in which you address the following requirements:

o    Describe how Client X should account for its employee stock option plan under existing GAAP.

o    Write a summary of your argument, citing concepts and definitions to buttress your case, assuming:

o    You are siding with John.

o    You are siding with Marcy.

 

Format your submission consistent with APA guidelines.
