Summary Introduction

Call option:

A call option is an agreement that gives the buyer the right to buy a stock at a pre-specified price within a pre-specified period. The stock on which the call option is provided is called the underlying asset.

Intrinsic value of a call option: The intrinsic value of a call option is the value of 'S-X' where 'S' is the prevailing price of the stock and 'X' is the exercise price. So, more the price of stock, more the intrinsic value of the call option.

Time value of a call option:

The time value of a call option is the difference between the price of the call option and the intrinsic value of the call option.

To compute:

The intrinsic value of the call option and its time value
