A worked teaching example
25–35 minutes · Suggested activity time
Fictional long call: strike $100, premium $6 per share, one option on one share. Evaluate only at expiry. Ignore financing, dividends, fees and taxes; no contract multiplier.
Evaluate terminal underlying prices of $90, $100, $106 and $120. Identify break-even and maximum loss. Distinguish an expiry payoff from a pre-expiry option valuation.
Evidence to collect: Submit the four outcomes and explain why a $103 terminal price would still result in a $3 loss.
An in-the-money option can still produce a loss after premium. Expiry arithmetic does not measure the option's value before expiry.
Payoff = max(S − 100, 0). Profit = payoff − 6. Break-even = $106; maximum loss = $6 per share.

CapitalODA is the Options and Derivatives Analyzer. Its subject areas include options, futures, forwards, swaps, payoff analysis, pricing sensitivities and hedging. Learners can compare assumptions and explain what a strategy addresses and which risks remain.
Related informationAt expiry, an option payoff describes the value produced by its contractual payoff rule. Profit also accounts for the premium and, where included in the exercise, other costs. The worked long-call example separates expiry payoff from profit and from an option’s model value before expiry.
Related informationYes. A hedge can address a specified exposure while leaving basis, volatility, liquidity, model or other risks outside the exercise’s assumptions. CapitalODA activities can compare payoffs and sensitivities and ask learners to defend the hedge rather than describe it as risk-free.
Related informationCapitalODA is relevant to derivatives courses, capital and wealth-market teams, training providers and CFA® Program subject practice. It is an independent CapitalWave product; no CFA Institute approval, official examination material or complete curriculum coverage is claimed.
