100 shares
Stock price minus premium
Stock flat at expiry: the call expires worthless. You keep the shares and the premium.
Stock at or above the strike at expiry: shares sold at the strike, premium kept.
Capped at the strike
Annualized figures are simple (return x 365 / days), not compounded. A zero-day expiration shows n/a. Fees, taxes, dividends, early assignment and margin are not modeled.
