McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18-7 Measuring the Obligation On December 31, our actuary estimates that the present value of the expected benefit obligation for your postretirement health care costs is $10,250. You have worked for the company for 6 years and are expected to have 30 years of service at retirement. The actuary uses a 6% discount rate. Let’s calculate the APBO.

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18-9 Measuring the ObligationEPBOBeginning of Year × (1 + Discount Rate) =EPBOEnd of Year To calculate the APBO at the end of the year. We start by determining the ending EPBO. $10,250 × 1.06 = $10,865 APBO End of Year $10,865× 730 = $2,535

10 © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18-10 Measuring the Obligation APBO may also be calculated like this: The APBO increases because of interest and the service fraction (service cost).

For financial reporting, the amortization reduces current earnings. For income tax purposes, income is reduced when actual payments are made. This creates a temporary difference between financial and taxable income. Amortization of the transition amount is part of expense in the current period.

21 © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18-21 Determining the Expense The beginning APBO ($2,050) is the initial transition liability. Your service life is 24 years (30 - 6). The amortization amount is $85 rounded ($2,050 ÷ 24 years). Because most postretirement health plans are not funded, there are no fund assets, no credit for prior service, and no net loss.

30 © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18-30 Expense – The Great Debate Historically, options have been measured at their intrinsic value – the simple difference between the market price of the shares and the option price at which they can be acquired. If the market and exercise price are equal on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized even if the options provide executives with substantial income.

31 © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18-31 Expense – The Great Debate Critics to current practice have identified three objections.  Options with no intrinsic value at issue have zero fair value and should not give rise to expense recognition.  It is impossible to measure the fair value of compensation on the date of grant.  Current practices have unacceptable economic consequences.

32 © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18-32 Recognizing Fair Value of Options Companies are encouraged, but not required, to estimate the fair value of stock options on the grant date. This encouragement requires the use of an option pricing model that deals with the: 1. Exercise price of the option. 2. Expected term of the option 3. Current market price of the stock. 4. Expected dividends. 5. Expected risk-free rate of return. 6. Expected volatility of the stock.

33 © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18-33 Stock Option Plans On January 1, 2003, Matrix, Inc. grants options to purchase 100,000 shares of the company’s $1 par value common stock to four key executives. The options may be exercised during the next 10 years, but not before December 31, 2007. The exercise and market price of the stock on January 1 is $57 per share. The fair value of the options, estimated using an options pricing model is $5 per option.

39 © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18-39 Intrinsic Value of Options Many companies refuse to recognize the fair value of options. The value of the options is measured at the grant date in an amount equal to the difference between the market price of the shares and the exercise price at which they can be acquired.

40 © 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 18-40 Performance Stock Option Plans In some cases, option plans are structured so that the number of options received and/or the exercise price per share may be based on the occurrence of some future event. For example, the CEO may receive options to purchase 100,000 common shares at $10 per share only if the market price of the company’s stock reaches $50 or more per share. This is known as a variable option plan.
