    Net income will decrease by = $250,000

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    Compensation = $750,000

    Period of executive services = 3 years

    Impact every year = Compensation : Period of executive services

    = $750,000 : 3

    = $250,000

    Even if none of the employees has exercised the option, the expense would be booked and net income will decrease.

    Hence, impact on Gonzalez's net income for the year will decrease by $250,000
