Suppose stock price today is $40, but you believe the price at
exercise will be $130 .
Given the price today and the price at exercise,what is maximum
amount you would pay to buy a call option on this
stock?
Given only the prices, and ignoring the Time value of money, the maximum price that i would pay to buy a call option will be computed as below-
Call option premium = Current Market price - Exercie price
Call option premium = $40 - $130 = - $90
Since the option premium is negative, we will not pay anything for the call option.
Maximum call option price to be paid = $0
Incase of any doubt, please comment below. I would be happy to help.
