The students of the term structure of interest rates commonly assume the absence of the risk of default [e.g. Malkiel (1966, p. 18)]. Those who do incorporate the risk of default like Johnson (1967), Silvers (1973), and Van Horne (forthcoming) are engaged in empirical tests based on homogeneous risk groups. Van Horne (1978) gives an excellent overview of the empirical work that has been done. On the other hand, numerous authors have been concerned with the relationship between the rate of return on a loan and the
risk of default both empirically and analytically without incorporating term structure effects. Recently Chen (1978) has given an overview of the developments in this field of financial theory. However, to our knowledge there has been no publication of an analytical model of the contracted rate of interest which includes both term structure effects and the risk of default. Nevertheless if we want to apply the results of the various studies on the term structure of interest rates in the field of corporate finance such an approach is needed since the loans to most companies are subject to the risk of default.
