XYZ Corp. will pay a $2 per share dividend in two months. Its stock price currently is $60 per share. A call option on XYZ has an exercise price of $55 and 3-month time to expiration. The risk-free interest rate is .5% per month, and the stock’s volatility (standard deviation) = 7% per month. Find the Black-Scholes value of the option. (Hint: Try defining one “period” as a month, rather than as a year, and think about the net-of-dividend value of each share.)
XYZ Corp. will pay a $2 per share dividend in 2 months. Its stock price currently is $72 per share. A call
option on XYZ has an exercise price of $65 and 3-month time to expiration. The risk-free interest rate is
0.3% per month, and the stock's volatility (standard deviation) = 12% per month. Find the pseudo-American
option value. (Hint: Try defining one "period" as a month, rather than as a year.) (Round your answer to 2
decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

XYZ Corporation will pay a $2 per share dividend in two months. Its stock price currently is $80 per share. A European call option on
XYZ has an exercise price of $75 and 3-month time to expiration. The risk-free interest rate is 0.95% per month, and the stock's
volatility (standard deviation) - 18 % per month. Find the Black-Scholes value of the option. (Hint: Try defining one "period" as a month,
rather than as a year, and think about the net-of-dividend value of each share.)
