A risk manager for Bank XYZ, Mark is considering writing a 6 month American put option on a non- dividend paying stock ABC. The current stock price is USD 50 and the strike price of the option is USD52.In order to find the no-arbitrage price of the option Mark uses a two-step binomial tree model. The stock price can go up or down by 20% each period. Mark's view is that the stock price has an 80% probability of going up each period and a 20% probability of going down. The annual risk-free rate is 12% with continuous compounding. The no-arbitrage price of the option is closest to:
A. USD2.00
B. USD 2.93
C. USD 5.22
D. USD 5.86
