Tax consequences on the grant date


Problem:

Mark received 22 ISOs (each option gives him the right to purchase 8 shares of Hendricks Corporation stock for $28 per share) at the time he started working for Hendricks Corporation five years ago when Hendricks' stock price was $28 per share. Now that Hendricks' share price is $48 per share, he intends to exercise all options and hold all of his shares for more than one year. Assume that more than a year after exercise; Mark sells the stock for $48 a share.

Requirement:

Question: What are Mark's tax consequences on the grant date, the exercise date, and the date he sells the shares, assuming his ordinary marginal rate is 30 percent and his long-term capital gains rate is 15 percent?
