Black-Scholes-Merton on dividend paying stock

As the 2. Extended Stochastic Example shows, time values of options and guarantees on a GMAB policy can be calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula on a dividend paying stock, when maintenance fees are deducted from account value at a constant rate, by regarding the fees as dividends.

The Black-Scholes-Merton pricing formula for European put options on a dividend paying stock can be expressed as below, where \(X\), \(S_{0}\), \(q\) correspond to the sum assured, the initial account value and the maintenence fee rate(1%) in this example.

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}p=Xe^{-rT}N\left(-d_{2}\right)-S_{0}e^{-qT}N\left(-d_{1}\right)\\d_{1}=d_{1}=\frac{\ln\left(\frac{S_{0}}{X}\right)+\left(r-q+\frac{\sigma^{2}}{2}\right)T}{\sigma\sqrt{T}}\\d_{2}=d_{1}-\sigma\sqrt{T}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

The graph below compares the option values with the maintenance fee deduction against the corresponding values without fee deduction for various in-the-moneyness.
