Question

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

a. An option's value is determined by its exercise value, which is the market price of the stock less its striking price. Thus, an option can't sell for more than its exercise value.
b. As the stock’s price rises, the time value portion of an option on a stock increases because the difference between the price of the stock and the fixed strike price increases.
c. Issuing options provides companies with a low cost method of raising capital.
d. The market value of an option depends in part on the option's time to maturity and also on the variability of the underlying stock's price.
e. The potential loss on an option decreases as the option sells at higher and higher prices because the profit margin gets bigger.

Answer 1

Answer: The market value of an option depends in part on the option's time to maturity and on the variability of the underlying stock's price

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of an option is made up of the time premium plus the intrinsic value of the option. When risk free rate rises, the price of a call option also rises.

It should be noted that the current value of the option trade is dependent on the price that one paid, and the underlying stock price.
