KembaraXtra – Islamic Derivatives: Option Contract, Premium, Call Option & Put Option (With Scenarios)


🔹 What is an Option Contract?
 
An option contract is a financial agreement that gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to:
  • Buy or
  • Sell an asset
 
at a fixed price (strike price) within a certain time.
 
👉 The buyer pays a premium for this right.


🔸 Scenario (Option Contract)
  • You pay $5 (premium)
  • You get the right to buy a stock at $100 (strike price) in the future
 
👉 You can choose to:
  • Use the option if it is profitable
  • Ignore it if it is not


🔹 What is Strike Price?
 
The strike price is the fixed price at which you can:
  • Buy (call option), or
  • Sell (put option)
 
👉 It is agreed at the beginning of the contract


🔹 What is a Premium?
 
A premium is the fee paid to buy the option contract.
  • Paid by the buyer
  • Received by the seller
  • It is non-refundable
 
👉 It is the cost of having flexibility and choice


🔹 What is a Call Option?
 
A call option gives the right to buy an asset at the strike price.


🔸 Scenario (Call Option)
  • Strike price = $100
  • Premium = $5
 
👉 If market price rises to $120:
  • Buy at $100
  • Sell at $120
  • Profit = $20 − $5 = $15
 
👉 If market price falls to $90:
  • Do not use the option
  • Loss = $5 (premium)


🔹 What is a Put Option?
 
A put option gives the right to sell an asset at the strike price.


🔸 Scenario (Put Option)
  • Strike price = $100
  • Premium = $5
 
👉 If market price falls to $80:
  • Buy at $80
  • Sell at $100
  • Profit = $20 − $5 = $15
 
👉 If market price rises to $120:
  • Do not use the option
  • Loss = $5 (premium)


🔹 Key Points (Note Form)
  • Option contract → Right, not obligation
  • Strike price → Fixed agreed price
  • Premium → Cost paid for the option
  • Call option → Profit when price goes up 📈
  • Put option → Profit when price goes down 📉


🔹 Simple Summary
  • Option = choice with a cost (premium)
  • Call = right to buy
  • Put = right to sell
  • Strike price = agreed price
