Consider an American call option when the stock price is $18, the exercise price is $20, the time to maturity is 6 months, the volatility is 30% per annum, and the risk-free interest rate is 10% per annum. Two equal dividends are expected during the life of the option with ex-dividend dates at the end of 2 months and 5 months. Assume the dividends are 40 cents. Use Black's approximation to value the option. How high can the dividends be without the American option being worth more than the corresponding European option?

Consider an option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is $30, the exercise price is $29, the risk-free interest rate is 5%, the volatility is 25% per annum, and the time to maturity is 4 months. Please show that put-call parity holds.

We have found that the implied volatility for the American option ANZDT8 is approximately 0.1597. If all the terms are the same except it was a European option, will the inferred volatility be the same, higher, or lower? Give your reasoning.
