been given as a bonus to the employees because of their exceptional performance during the year. The shares have a market value of $500,000 on December 31,<br />

20X4, and an average fair value for the year of $600,000. What amount would be expensed in the statement of comprehensive income for the above share-based<br />

payment transaction?<br />

a. $600,000<br />

b. $500,000<br />

d. $250,000<br />

5. An entity grants 1,000 share options to each of its five directors on July 1, 20X4. The options vest on June 30, 20X8. The fair value of each option on July 1, 2004,<br />

is $5, and it is anticipated that all of the share options will vest on June 30, 20X8. What will be the accounting entry in the financial statements for the year ended June<br />

30, 20X5?<br />

c. Increase equity $6,250, increase in expense statement of comprehensive income $6,250.<br />

6. Entity A is an unlisted entity, and its shares are owned by two directors. The directors have decided to issue 100 share options to an employee in lieu of many years<br />

of service. However, the fair value of the share options cannot be reliably measured as the entity operates in a highly specialized market where there are no comparable<br />

companies. The exercise price is $10 per share, and the options were granted on January 1, 20X4, when the value of the shares was also estimated at $10 per share. At<br />

the end of the financial year, December 31, 20X4, the value of the shares was estimated at $15 per share and the options vested on that date. What value should be<br />

placed on the share options issued to the employee for the year ended December 31, 20X4?<br />

a. $1,000<br />

b. $1,500<br />

c. $ 500<br />

d. $ 250<br />

7. On June 1, 20X4, an entity offered its employees share options subject to the award being ratified in a general meeting of the shareholders. The award was<br />

approved by a meeting on September 5, 20X4. The entity’s year-end is June 30. The employees were to receive the share options on June 30, 20X6. At which date<br />

should the fair value of the share options be valued for the purposes of IFRS 2?<br />

a. June 1, 20X4.<br />

b. June 30, 20X4.<br />

c. September 5, 20X4.<br />

d. June 30, 20X6.<br />

8. Many shares and most share options are not traded in an active market. Therefore, it is often difficult to arrive at a fair value of the equity instruments being issued.<br />

Which of the following option valuation techniques should not be used as a measure of fair value in the first instance?<br />

a. Black-Scholes model.<br />

b. Binomial model.<br />

c. Monte Carlo model.<br />

d. Intrinsic value.<br />

Items 9 through 11 are based on the following information:<br />

Ashleigh, a public limited company, has granted share options to its employees with a fair value of $6 million. The options vest in three years’ time. The Monte Carlo<br />

model was used to value the options, and these estimates had been made:<br />

• Grant date (January 1, 20X4): estimate of employees leaving the entity during the vesting period—5%<br />

• January 1, 20X5: revision of estimate of employees leaving to 6% before vesting date<br />

• December 31, 20X6: actual employees leaving 5%<br />

9. What would be the expense charged in the statement of comprehensive income in year to December 31, 20X4?<br />

a. $6 million.<br />

b. $2 million.<br />

c. $1.90 million.<br />

d. $5.70 million.<br />

10. Year to December 31, 20X5?<br />

a. $1.90 million.<br />

b. $1.88 million.<br />

c. $2 million.<br />

d. $3.78 million.<br />

11. Year to December 31, 20X6?<br />

b. $1.88 million.<br />

c. $2 million.<br />

d. $1.92 million.<br />

12. Joice, a public limited company, has granted share options to its employees prior to the date from which IFRS 2 became applicable (November 7, 2002). The<br />

company decided after the issuance of IFRS 2 to reprice the options. The original exercise price of $20 was repriced at $15 per option. IFRS 2 would require the<br />

company to<br />

a. Apply the Standard to the share options from the original grant date and ignore the repricing.<br />

b. Apply the Standard to the share options from the original grant date, taking into account the repriced award.<br />

c. Apply the Standard to the repriced award only.
