Suppose an investor has the opportunity to buy thefollowing contract (a stock call option) on March 1.The contract allows him to buy 100 shares of ABCstock at the end of March, April, or May at a guaranteed price of $50 per share. He can exercise thisoption at most once. For example, if he purchases the stock at the end of March, he cannot purchasemore in April or May at the guaranteed price. If theinvestor buys the contract, he is hoping that the stockprice will go up.

- A rent-to-own agreement allows the renter to either return the merchandise after a specified period of time or apply the monthly payments toward purchasing the item(s) (or clearly, the renter could default on the agreement). A rent-to-own company reports that nationally 60% of the agreements result in the merchandise being returned, 27% of the agreements result in the merchandise being purchased, and the remaining agreements are defaulted on (consumer does not make required payments specified in the contract). At a local rent-to-own company, a sample of 229 agreements finds that 110 result in the merchandise being returned, 74 agreements result in the merchandise being purchased and the remaining agreements are defaulted upon.
