bmeisner How does this agree with the question earlier about debiting compensation expense?
ssradja you debit it when granted, not exercised as this question asks.
quanttrader when granted you credit paid-in capital (stock options), when exercised you debit paid-in capital and credit paid in capital in excess of par
