LO6 Review of Formulas (b) 3. Intrinsic value of a warrant I = (M - E) x N (19-3) where I = Intrinsic value of a warrant M = Market value of a common stock E = Exercise price of a warrant N = Number of shares each warrant entitles the holder to purchase 4. Speculative premium of a warrant S = W - I (19-4) where S = Speculative premium W = Warrant price I = Intrinsic value
