Will CALL s holder execute his rights ??
Data from example 1: Underlying security = Stock X
N = 1
T = 1 year
K = 10 $
Let s assume that stock X price after T is going to be:
CALL s holder has the right to buy stock X for 10 $ (stock X is listed with higher
a) ST = 20 $
price at this moment)  Holder executes his right and in the same moment
b) ST = 15 $
sells stock X at the market for a higher price.
c) ST = 8 $
CALL s holder will not execute his right while he can buy the same stock at the
market much cheaper. Hence CALL option is worthless.
d) ST = 5 $
CALL s holder will not execute his right while he can buy the same stock at the
e) ST = 10 $
