Answer:

The value of the time premium between the August and October options is $0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

A time premium or time value is the amount by which the price of a stock option exceeds its intrinsic value.

To calculate the time premium between August and October we will Subtract October extrinsic value - August extrinsic value

Time premium = 6.25 - 5.75 = $0.50
