What is the compensation expense related to the options


Yellow Company is a calendar-year firm with operations in several countries. At January 1, 2011, the company had issued 40,000 executive stock options permitting executives to buy 40,000 shares of stock for $30. The vesting schedule is 20% the first year, 30% the second year, and 50% the third year (graded-vesting). The fair value of the options is estimated as follows:

Vesting Date Amount Vesting Fair Value per Option
Dec. 31, 2011 20% $37
Dec. 31, 2012 30% $8
Dec. 31, 2013 50% $12

Assuming Yellow prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, what is the compensation expense related to the options to be recorded in 2012?
