In this paper we solve the problem of determining the default time of a firm in such a way as to maximize its total value, which includes bankruptcy costs and tax benefits, with the condition that the value of equity must be nonnegative. By applying dynamic programming in discrete time, we find results which extends those of Leland (1994) and Leland-Toff (1996).

Abstract
In this paper we solve the problem of determining the default time of a firm in such a way as to maximize its total value, which includes bankruptcy costs and tax benefits, with the condition that the value of equity must be nonnegative. By applying dynamic programming in discrete time, we find results which extends those of Leland (1994) and Leland-Toff (1996).
