The $150000 amount shall be adjusted in previously recognised compensation expense upon expiration of the share options.

Explanation:

Compensation expense to be booked on December 31, Year 2:

The following expense shall be recognised in the accounts of the Fox Co as at December 31, Year 2 in respect of employee share options

7500*20*12*1/3=$600,000

In the above calculation, 7500 represents number of share options to be granted, 20 represents number of key employees to whom share options has been granted, 12 represent the fair value of the option at the grant dated and 1/3 represent first year of the 3-year requisite service condition for the exercise of share options.

Compensation expense to be booked on December 31, Year 3:

The following expense shall be recognised in the accounts of the Fox Co as at December 31, Year 3 in respect of employee share options:

7500*15*12*2/3-600000=$300,000

Since 5 key employees left at the start of year 3, therefore the number 15 should be used instead of 20 for the purpose of calculation. Also the 2/3 represents 2 years of the 3-year requisite service condition, therefore the expense recognised in Year 2 amounting to 600000 shall be deducted from the above calculation to give the amount required to be recognised as the expense in Year 3.

Compensation expense to be booked on December 31, Year 4:

7500*15*12*3/3-900000=$450,000

The 3/3 represents 3 years of the 3-year requisite service condition, therefore the expense recognised in Year 2 and 3 amounting to 900000 shall be deducted from the above calculation to give the amount required to be recognised as the expense in Year 4.

Overall expense of $1350000 (600,000+300,000+450,000) has been recognised in respect of the employees compensation for year 2, 3 and 4.

Since only 100000 options were exercised out of total 112500 (7500*15) options during the period from January 1, Year 5 to December 31, Year 11, therefore the previously recognised compensation expense shall be adjusted by following amount:

1350000-1200000(100000*12)=150000

The gilbert instrument corporation is considering replacing the wood steamer it currently uses to shape guitar sides. the steamer has 6 years of remaining life. if kept, the steamer will have depreciaiton expenses of $650 for five years and $325 for the sixthyear. its current book value is $3,575, and it can be sold on an internet auction site for$4,150 at this time. if the old steamer is not replaced, it can be sold for $800 at the endof its useful life. gilbert is considering purchasing the side steamer 3000, a higher-end steamer, whichcosts $12,000 and has an estimated useful life of 6 years with an estimated salvage value of$1,500. this steamer falls into the macrs 5-year class, so the applicable depreciationrates are 20.00%, 32.00%, 19.20%, 11.52%, 11.52%, and 5.76%. the new steamer is fasterand allows for an output expansion, so sales would rise by $2,000 per year; the newmachine's much greater efficiency would reduce operating expenses by $1,900 per year. to support the greater sales, the new machine would require that inventories increase by$2,900, but accounts payable would simultaneously increase by $700. gilbert's marginalfederal-plus-state tax rate is 40%, and its wacc is 15%.a. should it replace the old steamer? b. npv of replace = $2,083.51
