The option vest at the end of three years (cliff vesting) but are conditional upon selling 25,000 cases of cranberry juice over the three-year service period. The grant-date fair value of each option is $60. No forfeitures are expected to occur. The company is expensing the costs of options on a straight-line basis over the three-year period at $30,000 per year (2,000 options X $90 / 3 = $60,000).

Management modifies the sales target for the options to vest to 20,000 cases, which it believes is reasonably achievable. The fair value of each option at January1, 2017 is $100.
