This isn't correct. Option prices are quoted as the price for one share, but you have to pay 100x.

The leverage you get from options is the difference between the price of the option and the price of the stock. The total value of the stocks you have the right to buy or sell is called the notational value.

Your multiply by a 100 thing isn't at all how this works.
