(continuously compounding), is the call price free from arbitrage, assuming that the stock pays no dividends? What if the stock pays a dividend of $5 in one year?

Each step is 6 months, the risk free rate is 5% per annum (continuously compounding), and the volatility is 20%. What is the option price? Show work in detail and use a tree diagram (Use 4 decimal places).
