Abstract
\looseness 2 An optimal dividend problem is studied consisting in maximisation of expected discounted dividend payments until ruin time. A solution of this problem for constant premium $d$ and exponentially distributed claims is presented. It is shown that an optimal policy is a barrier policy. Moreover, an analytic way to solve this problem is sketched.
