1. Options - valuation.

The component of the value of an option which relates to the gain - if any - which could be earned by immediate exercise of the option, and assuming immediate exercise to be possible.

For a call option this is the excess - if any - of the underlying asset price over the strike price.

For a put option it is the excess - if any - of the strike price over the underlying asset price.
