Spot rate (market price) 1.20 1.22 1.23
Strike price (exercise price) 1.20 1.20 1.20
Fair value of call option 900.00 2,200.00 3,000.00

Notional Amount = 100,000 yuan

Intrinsic value = (Spot Rate 12/21/19 – Exercise Price)*Notional Amount


IV = (1.22 - 1.20)*100,000
IV = 2,000

Time Value = FV of Option – intrinsic Value


TV = 2,200 – 2,000
TV = 200
