Question 1

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

Accepted Answer

A)  An option's value is determined by its exercise value, which is the market price of the stock less its striking price. Thus, an option can't sell for more than its exercise value. 
B)  As the stock's price rises, the time value portion of an option on a stock increases because the difference between the price of the stock and the fixed strike price increases. 
C)  Issuing options provides companies with a low cost method of raising capital. 
D)  The market value of an option depends in part on the option's time to maturity and also on the variability of the underlying stock's price. 
E)  The potential loss on an option decreases as the option sells at higher and higher prices because the profit margin gets bigger.

Question 2

If we define the "premium" on an option to be the difference between the price at which an option sells and the exercise value (or the difference between the stock's current market price and the strike price), then we would expect the premium to increase as the stock price increases, other things held constant.
