Black Scholes distinguish long rate and carry rate
I recall that Black Scholes equation distinguishes a long rate and a carry rate, however, I think most people assume that they are equal and cancel each other out. Does anyone recall the expanded version of B-S which distinguishes the 2 rates?

Black Scholes distinguish long rate and carry rate
Do you mean risk free rate (r) vs cost of carry (r-q) (e..g q=dividend yield for stocks etc)?

the cost of carry is r-q. q is actual a yield from the asset. otherwise, very pretty equation.
