The buyer speculates the stock price will go up, then buy a call option by paying the option price (premium). If the stock price goes up during the expiration period, the buyer exercises the option and earns the profit. As illustrate in the table, the stock price goes up from $80 to $100, the call option buyer earns $11($20 minus $9 of option price ).

The seller will get the premium whenever he/she sells a call option. If the stock price does not go up by the expiration, the call buyer will not exercise the option and the seller can get the premium as a net profit.
If the stock price goes up and the buyer exercises the option, then the seller have to assume the obligation to sell the stock with the exercise price and bear a loss which equal is to the buyer’s net profit. In the example above, $11 is seller’s net loss and buyer’s net profit

Call option value= Stock value - PV of the exercise price
5 key variables:1) Current stock price (S0)
2) Exercise price of the option (E)
3) Time of expiration (t)
4) Risk free rate (Rf)
5) Variance of return on stock
C0=S0 -E/(1+Rf)t

You would like to purchase a 1 year call option for RBC stock- the exercise price= $45 per share and the stock price is currently at $70 and the risk free rate=2% and you speculate that the stock will be between $60 and $80 in 1 year.
What is the cost of the option?

t=0t=1
E= $45
S0 =70E=45Rf=2% Both speculated stock prices & t=1 are in the money, therefore:
discount E 1 yr
C0=S0 -E/(1+Rf)t = 70- (45/1.02)1= 25.88
Therefore call option = $25.88
S0 =70

You would like to purchase a 1 year call option for RBC stock- the exercise price= $45 per share and the stock price is currently at $70
The risk free rate=2% and you speculate that the stock will be between $40 and $80 in 1 year.
What is the cost of the option?
Options
24
Call option calculation S0 =70, E=45, Rf=2% & t=1 therefore:
The option can finish out of the $ and be worth 0 at expiration or in the $ and be worth $35
When the stock finishes at $80, our risk-free asset pays $40, leaving us $40 short. Each option is worth $35 in this case, so we need $40/$35 = 1.14options to match the payoff on the stock.

We must now invest $40 in a risk free asset and in 1.14call options

long call strike price plus the long call premium
(4) Exercise the long call to realize profit
Low Risk: limited to initial debit taken at entering the trade regardless of how far price moves down Maximum Risk = Initial Debit
Loss = Long Call Premium – Short Call Premium Maximum Profit = Short Call Strike Price – Long Call Strike Price – Initial Debit
Profit = Stock Price Upon Expiration – Long Call Strike Price – Initial Debit
Options

Put SpreadFour main steps:
(1) Purchase a single at money put contract(2) Sell a single in money put contract(3) Wait for the price to move above the short put
strike price(4) Let both puts expire worthless

A trader who believes that a stock's price will increase might buy the right to purchase the stock (a call option) rather than just purchase the stock itself. He would have no obligation to buy the stock, only the right to do so until the expiration date. If the stock price at expiration is above the exercise price by more than the premium (price) paid, he will profit. If the stock price at expiration is lower than the exercise price, he will let the call contract expire worthless, and only lose the amount of the premium. A trader might buy the option instead of shares, because for the same amount of money, he can control (leverage) a much larger number of shares
