Which statement best describes the link between SBC and Additional Paid-In Capital (APIC) on the Balance Sheet?

  1. APIC acts as a placeholder for the fair value of employee services received but not yet settled in issued shares.
  2. APIC decreases when SBC is expensed to balance the decrease in Retained Earnings.
  3. SBC flows into Retained Earnings directly and bypasses APIC entirely.
  4. APIC is only affected when employees pay the strike price to exercise their options.
