In many cases the organizations or persons responding provide useful information because they provide a viewpoint the FASB has not fully considered or else provide technical information about a particular industry or practice the FASB has failed to consider.In this assignment, you are going to evaluate the arguments raised by Micron in its comment letter on FASB’s proposed standard on share-based payments that later was finalized as SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payments. SFAS 123R, later codified as ASC 718, requires companies to recognize expenses using the fair value of the stock options granted to executives and employees.
