The fair value of each outstanding SARs and TSARs grant was estimated on December 31, 2018 and 2017 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
| 2018 |  | 2017 |
Risk-free interest rate | 2.6 | % | 1.8 | %
Expected dividend yield | 2.7 | % | 2.0 | %
Expected life of SARs and TSARs (years) | 1.5 |  | 1.2 |
Expected volatility | 35 | % | 31 | %
Expected forfeitures | 0.2 | % | 0.2 | %
Weighted average fair value (USD per share) | $ | 7.93 |  | $ | 19.02 |
Compensation expense for SARs and TSARs is measured based on their fair value and is recognized over the vesting period. Changes in fair value in each period are recognized in net income for the proportion of the service that has been rendered at each reporting date. The fair value as at December 31, 2018 was $18.9 million compared with the recorded liability of $17.3 million. The difference between the fair value and the recorded liability of $1.6 million will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 1.6 years. For the year ended December 31, 2018, compensation expense related to SARs and TSARs included a recovery in cost of sales and operating expenses of $1.2 million (2017 - expense of $45.1 million). This included a recovery of $7.8 million (2017 - expense of $37.8 million) related to the effect of the change in the Company’s share price. b) Deferred, restricted and performance share units: Deferred, restricted and performance share units outstanding as at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

1 | Performance share units have a feature where the ultimate number of units that vest are adjusted by a performance factor of the original grant as determined by the Company’s total shareholder return in relation to a predetermined target over the period to vesting. The performance factor is measured based on the weighted-average closing share price for the 90 calendar days on the NASDAQ Global Select Market immediately preceding the year end date that the performance share units vest.
Compensation expense for deferred, restricted and performance share units is measured at fair value based on the market value of the Company’s common shares and is recognized over the vesting period. Changes in fair value are recognized in net income for the proportion of the service that has been rendered at each reporting date. The fair value of deferred, restricted and performance share units as at December 31, 2018 was $36.6 million compared with the recorded liability of $35.3 million. The difference between the fair value and the recorded liability of $1.3 million will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 1.4 years. For the year ended December 31, 2018, compensation expense related to deferred, restricted and performance share units included in cost of sales and operating expenses was a recovery of $5.1 million (2017 - expense of $33.0 million). This included a recovery of $8.9 million (2017 - expense of $29.9 million) related to the effect of the change in the Company’s share price. c) Stock options: The exercise price of each stock option is equal to the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares at the date of the grant. Options granted have a maximum term of seven years with one-third of the options vesting each year after the date of grant. Common shares reserved for outstanding incentive stock options as at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:
