Abstract: Abstract Options can be generalized as contracts which can be bought or sold at a given price enabling one to buy or sell an asset or a security at a possible future profit. If the profitable opportunity does not arise, the price paid for the option is foregone. An understanding of the theory and analysis of options is useful to the financial managers in enabling them to estimate trends and may be employed to temporarily secure assets until a decision is made whether to buy or not, and to hold on to new projects or innovations until a final decision.
