  • #2 Chapter 23 Learning Objectives 1. Calculate the payoff to buyers and sellers of call and put options. 2. Understand the determinants of option values. 3. Recognize options in capital investment proposals. 4. Identify options that are provided in financial securities.

  • #6 Option Value: The value of an option at expiration is a function of the stock price and the exercise price.

Point C -The option price always exceeds its minimum value (except at maturity or when stock price is zero). Note: The value of an option increases with both the variability of the share price and the time to expiration.
