Abstract: Abstract Options can be generalized as contracts that can be bought at a given price, enabling one to buy or sell an asset or security at a possible future profit. If the profitable opportunity does not arise, the price paid for the option is foregone. An understanding of options theory and analysis is useful to financial managers as it enables 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.
