What are the arguments for giving separate accounting recognition to the conversion feature of debentures?

EXCEL (Stock-Option Plan) Berg Company adopted a stock-option plan on November 30, 2016, that provided that 70,000 shares of \(5 par value stock be designated as available for the granting of options to officers of the corporation at a price of \)9 a share. The market price was \(12 a share on November 30, 2017.

On January 2, 2017, options to purchase 28,000 shares were granted to president Tom Winter—15,000 for services to be rendered in 2017 and 13,000 for services to be rendered in 2018. Also on that date, options to purchase 14,000 shares were granted to vice president Michelle Bennett—7,000 for services to be rendered in 2017 and 7,000 for services to be rendered in 2018. The market price of the stock was \)14 a share on January 2, 2017. The options were exercisable for a period of one year following the year in which the services were rendered. The fair value of the options on the grant date was \(4 per option.

In 2018, neither the president nor the vice president exercised their options because the market price of the stock was below the exercise price. The market price of the stock was \)8 a share on December 31, 2018, when the options for 2017 services lapsed.

On December 31, 2019, both president Winter and vice president Bennett exercised their options for 13,000 and 7,000 shares, respectively, when the market price was $16 a share.

Instructions

Prepare the necessary journal entries in 2016 when the stock-option plan was adopted, in 2017 when options were granted, in 2018 when options lapsed, and in 2019 when options were exercised.

of 2017. The following data relate to the option grant.

Exercise price for options \)40

Market price at grant date (January 1, 2017) \(40

Service period 5 years

Instructions

(a) Prepare the journal entry(ies) for the first year of the stock-option plan.

(b) Prepare the journal entry(ies) for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted

stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.

(c) Now assume that the market price of Amazon stock on the grant date was $45 per share. Repeat the requirements for

(a) and (b).

(d) Amazon would like to implement an employee stock-purchase plan for rank-and-file employees, but it would like to
