Answer:
$1,248,000
Explanation:
The computation of the compensation expense for the year ended is shown below:
Number of RSUs = 300,000
Market price of shares = $13
Term of RSUs = 3 years
Now
Compensation Expense = [(No. of RSUs × Market Value per share) × Current year ÷ Total Period} - Compensation expense already recorded
= [(300,000 × $13) × 1 ÷ 3] - $0
= $1,300,00
And,
Compensation Expense for year 2 (2022) = [(294,000 × $13) × 2 ÷ 3] - $1,300,000
= $1,248,000
The $294,000 is come from
= $300,000 - ($300,000 × 6% ÷ 3 years)
= $300,000 - $6,000
= $294,000
