Example
Mr. A purchases a call option from B. B writes a call and gives right to Mr. A to buy Reliance share on exercise date (say March 10 ) at exercise price Rs. 450. Mr A has right to purchase share at Rs. 450 or ignore the option, the price of share in the market is Rs. 570.
Value of the option = market price exercise price = 570 450 = Rs. 120
Solve
If the market price of share on March 10 is Rs 410. The exercise price is Rs. 450.
40 GE Title or job number 4/30/2012
Answer
Value of option = Market price exercise price = 410 -450 = Rs -40
The option has no value hence the buyer will not exercise the option.
