Premium for the Futures and Option

As far as the premium is concerned -- there is a main difference between
the futures and the option and they may be treated as two seperate cases:

A Premium:


For futures: the gap between the cash price of the underlying commodity or index and the futures price. (see futures contract )

For options: the per share amount the buyer pays to the seller as determined by the market. (combining the intrinsic value and the time value premium - see also intrinsic value and options contract )
