Accounting For Employee Stock Options Scenario

Scenario:

Client X offers a generous employee compensation package that includes employee stock options. The exercise price has always been equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant.

Marcy argues that when a company issues stock for less than current value, the value of preexisting stockholders' shares is diluted.

Write a team paper response of 150 to 200 words in which you address the following requirements:
