Call Option Rejection Example


Call Option Rejection Example

Option to buy or call option will not be exercised in the market price at exercise date is lower than exercise, because you can simply buy the commodity or financial in the market at lower price, and your loss is equal to the option price only.

Call option Rejection Example

Pound call option of Euro = 2000
Strike price $/Pound = 2.7
Market price at Strike Date = 2.3


Solution

Call Option 2000 x 2.7 = $ 5400
Market Price Cost 2000 x 2.3 = $ 4600


Market price will cost you $ 400 lower than call option, therefore call option is allowed to be lapsed.
