In this paper, we propose a finite element method to study the problem ofcredit rating migration problem narrowed to a free boundary problem. Freeboundary indeed separates the high and low rating region for a firm andcauses some difficulties including discontinuity of second order derivative ofthe problem. Exploiting the weak formulation of the problem utilized in theGalerkin method, the discontinuity of second order derivative is averted. Inthis investigation we prove optimal convergence and stability of the proposedmethod. Numerical results illustrate how derived convergence results areconsistent into practice ones.
