"let me throw this out, in the mean time. if a company pays the electric company with stock, should that expense run down the income statement?

what if a company trades stock for a building? is that an expense that runs down the income statement?
"

I was thinking that the proceeds from selling options would count as income, and the proceeds from selling stock would not, but I could be wrong about that. Whichever way you count it, I think that you need to do it the same way regardless of whether the money is going in or out. If giving the employee back his or her purchase price for options counts as an expense, then collecting the purchase price for the options should count as revenue.
