    Answer and Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    1)

    Fair value per share = $20.4

    Number of Share = 2 million

    Fair value of award = Fair value per share * Number of Share

    = $20.4 * 2 million

    = $40.8 million

    2) No Entry

    3)

    Compensation expense ($40.8 million:4 years) $10.2 million

    To Paid in capital - restricted stock ($20.4-$10.2) $10.2 million

    (Being the compensation expense is recorded)

    4)

    Fair value per share = $20.4

    Share granted = 2 million

    (100%-10%) forfeiture rate = 90%

    fair value of award = $20.4*2*90%

    = $36.72 million
