If the share price is $21.50 and the exercise price and premium of a call option written on that share are $19.90 and $2.00, respectively, what is the time value of the option?
Select one:
$2.00
$0.40
$0.00
$17.90
$1.60
Solution
As an equation, time value might be expressed as: Option Premium - Intrinsic Value = Time Value
= 2 - (21.5 - 19.9)
= 2 - 1.6
= $0.4
