Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract] |
STOCK OPTION PLANS | (L) Stock Option Plans On August 7, 2013, our stockholders approved the Eagle Materials Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the Plan), which increased the shares we are authorized to issue as awards by 3,000,000 (1,500,000 of which may be stock awards). Under the terms of the Plan, we may issue equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights to employees of the Company and members of the Board of Directors. Awards that were already outstanding prior to the approval of the Plan remained outstanding. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors specifies the terms for grants of equity awards under the Plan. Long-Term Compensation Plans Options In May 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the granting to certain officers and key employees of an aggregate of 100,849 performance vesting stock options that are earned only if certain performance conditions are satisfied (the Fiscal 2020 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant). The performance criterion for the Fiscal 2019 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant is based upon the achievement of certain levels of return on equity (as defined in the option agreements), ranging from 10.0% to 20.0%, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. All stock options are earned if the return on equity is 20.0% or greater, and the percentage of shares earned are reduced proportionately to approximately 66.7% if the return on equity is 10.0%. If the Company does not achieve a return on equity of at least 10.0%, all stock options granted will be forfeited. During fiscal 2020, the adjusted return on equity was approximately 16.4%; therefore, 88,755 options were earned, with the remaining options forfeited. The earned stock options will lapse ratably over four years, with the first fourth lapsing promptly following the determination date, and the remaining options vesting on March 31, 2021 through 2023. The stock options have a term of 10 years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee also approved the granting of 84,043 time-vesting stock options to the same officers and key employees, which vest ratably over a four-year period (the Fiscal 2020 Employee Time-Vesting Stock Option Grant). The stock options have a term of 10 years from the date of grant. All stock options issued during fiscal 20 20 and 201 9 were valued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value the option awards in fiscal 20 20 and 201 9 are as follows:
|  | 2020 |  |  | 2019 |
Dividend Yield |  |  | 1.3 | % |  |  | 1.3 | %
Expected Volatility |  |  | 31.4 | % |  |  | 32.7 | %
Risk Free Interest Rate |  |  | 2.31 | % |  |  | 2.85 | %
Expected Life |  | 6.0 years |  |  | 6.0 years |
Stock option expense for all outstanding stock option awards was approximately $4.5 million, $3.8 million, and $4.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. At March 31, 2020, there was approximately $7.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years. The following table shows stock option activity for the years presented:

At March 31, 2020, the aggregate intrinsic value for outstanding and exercisable options was approximately $3.8 million. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 was approximately $2.2 million, $2.1 million and $18.7 million, respectively. Restricted Stock In May 2019, the Compensation Committee approved the granting to certain officers and key employees an aggregate of 51,112 shares of performance vesting restricted stock that will be earned if certain performance conditions are satisfied (the Fiscal 2020 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award). The performance criterion for the Fiscal 2020 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award is based upon the achievement of certain levels of return on equity (as defined in the agreement), ranging from 10.0% to 20.0%, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. All restricted shares will be earned if the return on equity is 20.0% or greater, and the percentage of shares earned will be reduced proportionately to approximately 66.7% if the return on equity is 10.0%. If the Company does not achieve a return on equity of at least 10.0%, all awards will be forfeited. During fiscal 2020, the adjusted return on equity was approximately 16.4%; therefore approximately 44,985 shares were earned, with the remaining shares forfeited. Restrictions on the earned shares will lapse ratably over four years, with the first fourth lapsing promptly following the determination date and the remaining restrictions lapsing on March 31, 2021 through 2023. The Compensation Committee also approved the granting of 42,591 shares of time-vesting restricted stock to the same officers and key employees, which vest ratably over four years (the Fiscal 2020 Employee Restricted Stock Time-Vesting Award). Both of the Fiscal 2020 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award and the Fiscal 2020 Employee Restricted Stock Time-Vesting Award were valued at the closing price of the stock on the date of grant and are being expensed over a four-year period. In August 2019, we granted to members of the Board of Directors 24,589 shares of restricted stock (the Board of Directors Fiscal 2020 Restricted Stock Award) which vested six months after the grant date. The Board of Directors Fiscal 2020 Restricted Stock Awards were valued at the closing price of the stock on the date of the grant and were expensed over a six-month period. The fair value of restricted stock is estimated based on the stock price at the date of the grant. The following table summarizes the activity for nonvested restricted shares during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018:
