I think zzrays made a slim mistake when he expained in terms of economic .
In reality when r goes up , the spot price of stock will be lower but not higher. As what hull said ,present value will be lower ,thus the spot price is lower. However , when we use BS model . we tend to assume the spot price doesnt change , the further price SPOTPRICE* ert WILL RISE THEN the price of the call option rises. in other words the time value rises.
I think that is the process how r affects option price .
