Explanation
Intrinsic value of a put option is calculated as:
Intrinsic Value=max(Strike Price−Stock Price,0)
Given:
- Stock price =
$25
- Strike price =
$20
Calculation:
Intrinsic Value=max(20−25,0)=max(−5,0)=0
Since the strike price ($20) is less than the current stock price ($25), the put option is out-of-the-money and has zero intrinsic value.
Key points:
- For put options: intrinsic value exists only when stock price < strike price
- When stock price > strike price, the put option has no intrinsic value
- The option may still have time value (extrinsic value) due to the remaining time until expiration
