Valuation of Options

Valuation of Options

Valuation of Options is the difference between the underlying spot price and the strike price, to the extent that this is in favor of the option holder. For a call option, the option is in-the-money if the underlying spot price is higher than the strike price; then the intrinsic value is the underlying price minus the strike price. Valuation of Options can be split into two components: Intrinsic value and Time value.
