monte carlo simulation was utilized to randomly generate future stock returns for the company and each company in the defined peer group for each grant based on company-specific dividend yields , volatilities and stock return correlations .
these returns were used to calculate future performance-based rsu vesting percentages and the simulated values of the vested performance-based rsus were then discounted to present value using a risk-free rate , yielding the expected value of these performance-based rsus .
