Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Compensation = $750,000
Period of executive services = 3 years
Impact every year = Compensation ÷ Period of executive services
= $750,000 ÷ 3
= $250,000
Even if none of the employees has exercised the option, the expense would be booked and net income will decrease.
Hence, impact on Gonzalez's net income for the year will decrease by $250,000
