The plans are intended to advance the interest of the Company by attracting and ensuring retention of competent directors, employees and executive personnel, and to provide incentives to those individuals to devote their utmost efforts to the advancement of stockholder value.

For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company reduced current income taxes payable and increased additional paid-in capital by $50, $114 and $103, respectively, for the income tax benefit attributable to sale by optionees of common stock received upon the exercise of stock options. Stock-Based Compensation In 2016, the Company recognized $92 in equity compensation cost, compared to $87 in 2015 and $74 in 2014. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:
|  | Years ended December 31,
|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2014
Expected dividend amount per quarter | $ | 0.2775 |  | $ | n/a |  | $ | 0.2624
Expected stock price volatility |  | 28.0% |  |  |  |  |  | 27.0%
Risk-free interest rate |  | 1.30% |  |  |  |  |  | 1.50%
Expected life of options |  | 4.7 years |  |  |  |  |  | 4.7 years
The per share weighted average fair value of options granted during 2016 is $12.15 and in 2014 is $9.64. No options were granted in 2015. All UTMD options vest over a four-year service period. Expected dividend amounts were estimated based on the actual cash dividend rate at the time the options were granted and an estimate of future dividends based on past dividend rate changes as well as management’s expectations of future dividend rates over the expected holding period of the options. Expected volatility is based on UTMD’s historical volatility over recent periods of time and trends in that volatility, giving weight to more recent periods. Risk free interest rates were estimated based on actual U.S. Treasury Securities Interest rates as reported by the Federal Reserve Bank for periods of time equivalent to the holding periods estimated for the options on the dates the options were granted. Expected term of options were estimated based on historical holding periods for similar options previously granted by UTMD to employees and directors.
