OPTIONS
Options are special contractual arrangements giving the owner the right to buy or sell an asset at a fixed price anytime on or before a given date.
they give the buyer the right, but not the obligation to exercise the contract.

Put option
![Page 12: Bacics of derivatives](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55ae4c9f1a28abd7738b4590/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CALL OPTIONS
A call option gives the owner the right to buy an asset at a fixed price during a particular time period
The Value of a Call Option at Expiration
If the stock price is greater than the exercise price, we say that the call is in the money
The payoff of a call option at expiration is
1.If Stock Price Is Greater Than Strike price
Call-option value=Stock price-Strike price

If Stock Price Is Lesser Than Strike Price Call-option value=0

Put Options
a put gives the holder the right to sell the stock for a fixed exercise price.
The Value of a Put Option at Expiration

SELLING OPTIONS An investor who sells (or writes) a call
on common stock promises to deliver shares of the common stock if required to do so by the call-option holder
the seller loses money if the stock price ends up above the exercise price and he merely avoids losing money if the stock price ends up below the exercise price
Why would the seller of a call place himself in such a precarious position?

VALUING OPTIONS
determine the value of options when you buy them well before expiration.
Bounding the Value of a Call
Arbitrage profit
Upper bound:It turns out that the upper boundary is the price of the underlying stock.

Factors Determining Put-Option Values
1. The put’s market value decreases as the stock price increases
2. The value of a put with a high exercise price is greater than the value of an otherwise identical put with a low exercise price
4. The value of a put with a distant expiration date is greater
5. Volatility of the underlying stock increases the value of the put.
