Valuation Model and Assumptions

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various and subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility.

The following table shows the Company’s assumptions used to compute share-based compensation expense for awards granted during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018:

The total fair value of options vested during the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018 was $6 million and $8 million, respectively. The cash received from option exercises was not significant for the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2019 and $5 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2019. The total tax benefit realized from option exercises was not significant for the thirteen weeks ended November 2, 2019 and $1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2019.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised (the difference between the market price of the Company’s common stock on the exercise date and the price paid by the optionee to exercise the option) is presented below:

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units (“RSU”) of the Company’s common stock may be awarded to certain officers and key employees of the Company. Additionally, RSU awards are made to employees in connection with the Company’s long-term incentive program, and to nonemployee directors. Each RSU award represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock provided that the performance and vesting conditions are satisfied.

Generally, awards fully vest after the passage of time, typically three years. However, RSU awards made in connection with the Company’s performance-based long-term incentive program are earned after the attainment of certain performance metrics and, with regards to certain awards, vest after an additional one-year period.

No dividends are paid or accumulated on any RSU awards.

Compensation expense is recognized using the market value at the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, provided the recipient continues to be employed by the Company.

RSU activity for the thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2019 is summarized as follows:
