XYZ Corp. will pay a $2 per share dividend in two months. Its stock price currently is $78 per share. A European call option on XYZ has an exercise price of $72 and 3 -month time to expiration. The risk-free interest rate is 0.8% per month, and the stock's volatility (standard deviation) =17% per month. Find the Black-Scholes value of the American call 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.) (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
