Each share option represents the right to purchase a \(1 par value ordinary share in the future at a price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of the grant. Sarazan has 5,000 share options outstanding, which were granted at the beginning of 2017. The following data relate to the option grant.

Exercise price for options \)40

Market price at grant date (January 1, 2017) \(40
