Call Option Rejection


Call Option Rejection


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 = 1000
Strike price $/Pound = 1.6
Market price at Strike Date = 1.5


Solution

Call Option 1000 x 1.6 = $ 1600
Market Price Cost 1000 x 1.5 = $ 1500


Call option is more expensive, the market purchase, therefore market purchase is preferred in this example i.e. buy euro in the market at $ 1500
