| thebkr777 | Contradictory to reading "Fair value was to be estimated using Black-Scholes or binomial option-pricing models." |
| b25331 | Some clarification here, the curriculum states only, that the two models are commonly used, but accounting standards do not prescribe a particular model |

I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
