Abstract: Abstract This paper concerns the dual risk model, dual to the risk model for insurance applications, where premiums are surplus-dependent. In such a model, premiums are regarded as costs and claims refer to profits. We calculate the mean of the cumulative discounted dividends paid until the time of ruin, if the barrier strategy is applied. We formulate the associated Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation and identify sufficient conditions for a barrier strategy to be optimal. Numerical examples are provided.
