American long CALL Option Payoff at expiration

Buying American Financial's call option is the simplest of option trades. A call option on American Stock gives investors the right (but not the obligation) to purchase American Financial at the given strike price. Therefore American Financial's call intrinsic value or payoff at expiration depends on where the American Stock price is relative to the call option strike price. The strike price of 160.0 is the critical point that divides the payoff function into two parts. Below the strike, the payoff chart is constant and negative (the trade is a loss). Above the strike, the payoff line is upward sloping as the option payoff rises in proportion with American Financial's price. Finally, at the break-even point of 160.0, the line crosses zero, and trading American becomes profitable.

The market value of American Financial is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of American that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of American Financial's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is American Financial's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because American Financial's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect American Financial's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between American Financial's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if American Financial is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, American Financial's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
