  Passage Three
  An option contract is a risk management or control tool designed to mitigate the effects of possible adverse movements in the price of a security or commodity. Depending upon the right acquired by the taker, options are divided into "calls" and "puts". A call option gives the taker (just the buyer of the option) the right (but not the obligation) to buy at a fixed price, while a put option confers upon him the right (but not the obligation) to sell at a fixed price. The fixed price at which the taker may buy or sell the underlying commodity or security, a procedure known as exercising the option, is called the striking price. If the striking price is identical to the current market price of the commodity or security (i.e. the prevailing price for delivery and payment on expiration date), the option is said to be at the money. When the striking price of a call option is lower than the current market price it is in the money. When it is higher than current market price it is out of the money. In contrast, the put option is in the money when the striking price is higher than the current market price or out of the money when the striking prices lower than the current market price.
  It will by now clear that there are two basic prices in an options contract, the price paid for the
  purchase of the actual option, which is the premium, and the fixed price at which the option may be exercised, which is the striking price. In turn, the price of the premium is itself made up of two component parts, the intrinsic value and extrinsic value (often known as the time value). Intrinsic value may be defined as the amount by which an option is in the money. The calculation of a proper time value for an option is far more complex. It is influenced by four different factors ----the duration of the option, the historical price volatility of the underlying commodity or security, current interest rates and the supply of and demand for the option.
