Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (C) $40 million

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of shares granted to executives = 15 million

Value of shares = $1 par common shares

Market price per share = $8 per share

Time period = 3 years

Now,

The  effect on earnings in the year after the shares are granted to executive

= [ Market value of the shares granted ] ÷ [ Time period ]

= [ $8 × 15 million ] ÷ 3

= $40 million

Hence,

Option (C) $40 million
