Another question: If someone is promised a future bonus for meeting performance goals should that bonus also be expensed right away?

This is key to me. Stock options are opportunity costs only, and most opportunity costs in business are not treated as real costs. Purchasing schedule discounts for example, granted to me if I sell xxx of some widget, has a value but only if I sell enough of the widgets. I don't get to recognize this benefit until it happens, months after the promise is made to incent me to buy more raw materials.
