单选题 Don Weaver purchased a call option on Dominic InC. with an exercise price of $20. Weaver paid $3.50 for the option, which is an American option that expires in 90 days. Dominic does not pay any dividend, and the stock is currently trading at $22 per share. The moneyness and intrinsic value of this option could be best described as:
Moneyness Intrinsic Value
①A. in-the-money $1.50
②B. in-the-money $2.00
③C. out-of-the-money $1.50
  • A. ①
  • B. ②
  • C. ③
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】The option is in-the-money because it could be exercised now for a profit. The potential payoff at exercise is the intrinsic value, which would be calculated for a call option as the market price less the strike price, or $22 - 20 = $2.00. Note that the premium paid for the option has no effect on the moneyness or intrinsic value.
