SIE practice questionmediumOptions — Put Intrinsic Value
A put option with a strike price of $65 is trading at $9 when the underlying stock is at $60. What is the time value of this option?
- A$5
- B$9
- C$0
- D$4✓ Correct answer
Explanation
Why D — $4
For a put: intrinsic value = strike price - stock price = $65 - $60 = $5. Time value = premium - intrinsic value = $9 - $5 = $4. The $5 intrinsic value represents the immediate exercise value; the $4 time value represents the chance the option could become even more valuable before expiration.
