    BSOP requirement a,

    Sir in my text book it was written that value of option is made up of 2 thing

    1) intrinsic value
    2) time value

    and intrinsic value is calculated by comparing Pa-Pe

    In this question Pa is $23.128 and Pe is $24 so the intrinsic value shouldn’t be “Nil”

    But in the answer it was written the value of option $5.95m is made up of intrinsic value of $4m and time value of $1.95m

    Can you explain me this with a proper reason to understand???

    Pa is $28. I don’t know where you are getting $23.128 from.

    Have you watched by free lectures on option pricing and on real options?

    Actually question is related to delay the decision for 2 year

    before delaying the decision Pa was $28m but after delaying for 2 year Pa was $23.128m or $23.13m

    this is why i m confused, which one i should use when calculating intrinsic value??

    (Note this was not part of the original requirement, i m just asking to clear my concept)

    Pa is 28M. If they wait 2 years then it is still 28M that will be paid.

    The exam has never asked for any mention of the intrinsic value, even though it is Pa – Pe.
