Backdating of stock options is unethical because: Multiple Choice a) It purposefully manipulates the option criteria that determine their value b) It favors top executives over other company employees with respect to the number of options c) It changes the exercise price on options to benefit top executives d) It changes the exercise date on options to benefit top executives.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Letter c is correct. It changes the exercise price on options to benefit top executives

Explanation:

What happens is that some executives set the date of purchase of their shares so that they have the possibility to buy them before the demand increases and consequently the price also increases. Using retroactive updating of stock options, executives are able to buy them at lower prices, which is an unethical maneuver because stock options are offered in one organization to all employees equally, without benefiting anyone regardless of hierarchical position in the company.
