Abstract: Abstract A call option on a stock entitles the owner to buy the stock at a prespecified price at or before the maturity of the option. This prespecified price at which we can acquire the underlying stock is usually called the exercise price or the strike price. Conversely, a put option on a stock entitles the owner to sell the stock at the strike price at or before maturity of the option. Options that can only be exercised at their maturity dates are referred to as European while options that can be exercised at any time before or at their maturity dates are called American.1
