Summary Introduction

Equity Shares: Equity shares are the part of firm’s equity share capital which is issued by the firm. Equity shares are owner’s equity and the dividend is paid to the equity holder if a firm earns profits. But equity holders do not have preferential rights.

Call Option: Call option refers to the right available to invest in a particular business or project, but without any obligation to make such investment decision at a fixed price on some future date. Therefore, the option is taken only when it improves the net present value of the business.

To Explain: Equity as a call option on the firm.
