Explanation:

The call option is a derivative in which an investor buys an option to buy the asset at a certain price. The value of the call option is determined by maturity. The buyer of call option can buy an asset at a strike price before expiration date.

If the investor buys the call option for $4 then the $4 is an expense for the investor. The value of call will be -4 unless the stock price is above $50.  

If the investor buys the call option for $6.5 then the $6.5 is an expense for the investor. The value of call will be -6.5 unless the stock price is below $50.
