What is an option in stocks

Business
1 answer:
omeli [17]2 years ago
6 0

A contract known as an option grants the buyer the right, but not the duty, to purchase or sell an underlying asset (such as a stock or index) at a given price on or before a particular date (listed options are all for 100 shares of the particular underlying asset).

<h3>What is an option? Explain.</h3>

An option is a contract that grants the buyer the right, but not the responsibility, to buy the underlying asset (in the case of a call) or sell it (in the case of a put) at a certain price on or before a specific date.

Options are used by people for revenue, speculation, and risk hedging.

Because they draw their value from an underlying asset, options are classified as derivatives.

A stock option contract normally entails 100 shares of the underlying stock, but other underlying assets, such as bonds, currencies, or commodities, are also acceptable.

Inspiring and motivating people with a mission or purpose is a ______________ for developing an organization that can learn and
sergij07 [2.7K]

The correct answer is B. Necessary but not sufficient condition goal

Explanation:

A necessary condition for a goal refers to a condition or factor that is mandatory to achieve a goal. For example, to obtain a bachelor's degree a necessary condition is to complete a bachelor's program. Besides this, a condition is sufficient if no other conditions are required, this applies to the previous condition as the main requirement for a bachelor's degree is to complete all the courses or program.

In this context, inspiring and motivating people in the goal of making an organization that can learn and adapt is a necessary condition because organizations require cooperation and group work and this is achieved if people of the organization feel inspired and motivated. However, this is not the only condition, and therefore it is not sufficient as other factors such as a budget, a clear plan, etc. are needed.
