    You need to work our lecture again.

    No double entry on grant date.

    Exercise: Dr Cash Dr Option Reserve Cr SC Cr SP
    Not exercised : Might be a reserves transfer – but exam doesn’t really worry about reserves.

    🙂

    I got It’s the fair value of the option on the grant date. Sir in the video for cash settled you mentioned about the paying based on the price of the shares however in the example you have given the fair value of options. Can cash settled be based on the fair value of the traded option price?

    Price of shares if it’s shares, and of options if it’s options.

    FV at grant date if equity settled

    FV at SFP date if cash settled

    Company grants stock option, it does not acquire it, no double entry needed
