Upon exercise, a put option is valued at K-S if it is "in-the-money", otherwise its value is zero. Prior to exercise, an option has time value apart from its intrinsic value. The following factors reduce the time value of a put option: shortening of the time to expire, decrease in the volatility of the underlying, and increase of interest rates.
A put option is out-of-the-money if the underlying's spot price is higher than the strike price. As shown in the below equations and graph, the intrinsic value (IV) of a call option is positive when the underlying asset's spot price S exceeds the option's strike price K. Value of a call option: [(),], or () + Value of a put option: [(),], or () +
The intrinsic value (or "monetary value") of an option is its value assuming it were exercised immediately. Thus if the current price of the underlying security (or commodity etc.) is above the agreed price, a call has positive intrinsic value (and is called "in the money"), while a put has zero intrinsic value (and is "out of the money").
Put option: A put option gives its buyer the right, but not the obligation, to sell a stock at the strike price prior to the expiration date. When you buy a call or put option, you pay a premium ...
The options trader makes a profit of $200, or the $400 option value (100 shares * 1 contract * $4 value at expiration) minus the $200 premium paid for the call. ... Call options vs. put options.
The intrinsic value 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.
In fact, typically, the literal first derivative w.r.t. time of an option's value is a positive number. The change in option value is typically negative because the passage of time is a negative number (a decrease to , time to expiry). However, by convention, practitioners usually prefer to refer to theta exposure ("decay") of a long option as ...
That is, the value of an option is due to the convexity of the ultimate payout: one has the option to buy an asset or not (in a call; for a put it is an option to sell), and the ultimate payout function (a hockey stick shape) is convex – "optionality" corresponds to convexity
