options - How to derive Black-Scholes equation with dividend?



Question: The Black-Scholes equation without dividend is given by Vt+12σ2S22VS2+rSVSrV=0. (I attempted to derive the equation in my previous post.)


If we assume that 'with dividend rate D', then the Black-Scholes equation becomes Vt+12σ2S22VS2+(rD)SVSrV=0. How to derive this?



By working backwards and assuming derivation of my previous post, we should have dΠ=Vtdt+VSdS+12σ2S22VS2dtΔSDΔSdt. But I do not understand why can we add the term in dΠ.



Answer



We assume that the stock price process {St,t>0} satisfies, under the real-world probability measure P, an SDE of the form dSt=St((μq)dt+σdWt), where {Wt,t>0} is a standard Brownian motion. Here, we need to consider the total return asset eqtSt, that is, the asset with the dividend payments invested in the same underlying stock. We consider a locally risk-free self-financing portfolio of the form πt=Δ1t(eqtSt)+Δ2tVt, where Vt is the option price. Then, dπt=Δ1td(eqtSt)+Δ2tdVt=Δ1teqt(qStdt+dSt)+Δ2t(Vtdt+VSdSt+122VS2σ2S2tdt)=[μΔ1teqtSt+Δ2t(Vt+(μq)StVS+122VS2σ2S2t)]dt+(σΔ1teqtSt+σΔ2tStVS)dWt. Since πt is locally risk-free, we assume that πt earns the risk-free interest rate r, that is, dπt=rπtdt, Then, [μΔ1teqtSt+Δ2t(Vt+(μq)StVS+122VS2σ2S2t)]dt+(σΔ1teqtSt+σΔ2tStVS)dWt=rπtdt. Consequently, σΔ1teqtSt+σΔ2tStVS=0, and μeqtΔ1tSt+Δ2t(Vt+(μq)StVS+122VS2σ2S2t)=r(Δ1teqtSt+Δ2tVt). From (1), Δ1t=eqtΔ2tVS. Then, μΔ2tStVS+Δ2t(Vt+(μq)StVS+122VS2σ2S2t)=r(Δ2tStVS+Δ2tVt), or Δ2t(VtqStVS+122VS2σ2S2t)=rΔ2t(VSSt+Vt). Canceling the term Δ2t from both sides of (2), we obtain the Black–Scholes equation of the form Vt+(rq)StVS+122VS2σ2S2trV=0.
