On January 1, 2019, Grouper Corporation granted 10,800 options to key executives. Each option allows the executive to purchase one share of Grouper’s $5 par value common stock at a price of $20 per share. The options were exercisable within a 2-year period beginning January 1, 2021, if the grantee is still employed by the company at the time of the exercise. On the grant date, Grouper’s stock was trading at $26 per share, and a fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation to be $431,000. On May 1, 2021, 7,440 options were exercised when the market price of Culver’s stock was $30 per share. The remaining options lapsed in 2020 because executives decided not to exercise their options.

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
