One options contract is equal to 100 shares, right?

so if i want to buy a single contract at the asking price of lets say $4.00

do i pay a total of $4.00 or a total of $400 ?

Another question,

if i feel confident a stock is going to go up in value ... for short term profits am i better off on the stock or the options?

from the little bit that i can peice together it looks like the options is a more rewarding buy for the short term, assuming it goes in your favor.

thanks for any help.
