An entity grants share options with EXERCISE PRICE conditional on a 30% increase in the share price over 3 years. The 30% target is a:

AService condition
BMarket condition — it is tied to the share price of the entity's own equity
CNon-market performance condition
DVesting condition unrelated to performance
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Market condition — it is tied to the share price of the entity's own equity
A share-price target IS a market condition. Market conditions are baked into the grant-date FV (using option-pricing models like Monte Carlo) and do NOT result in any true-up if the condition fails — the expense is recognised even if the target isn't hit, as long as service is rendered.
