    1. $242 million

    2. $60.5 million decrease in earning

    Explanation:

    1. Ignoring taxes, what is the total compensation cost pertaining to the restricted stock units? (Enter your answer in millions (i. e., 10,000,000 should be entered as 10).)

    Total compensation cost = Number restricted units * Common share market price = 11 million * $22 = $242 million

    2. Ignoring taxes, what is the effect on earnings in the year after the RSUs are granted to executives? (Enter your answer in millions rounded to 1 decimal place (i. e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5).)

    Effect on earning = Total compensation cost / Period of forfeiture = $242 / 4 = $60.5 million decrease in earning.
