Capital Structure Choices in Practice
The primary objective of capital structure management is to maximize the total value of the firm's outstanding debt and equity.
The resulting financing mix that maximizes this combined value is called the optimal capital structure.

Defining a Firm's Capital Structure
Capital structure = owner's equity + interest bearing debt
Financial structure = Capital structure + non-interest bearing liabilities (such as accounts payable).
It is also described using a firm's debt ratio.

Defining the Firm's Capital Structure
The Debt to Enterprise Value ratio is commonly used to describe a firm's capital structure.
![Page 7: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Defining the Firm's Capital Structure
The book value of interest bearing debt includes: Short-term notes payable (e.g., bank loans), Current portion of long-term debt, and Long-term debt.

Table 15.1 Financial and Capital Structures for Selected Firms (Year-End 2012)
![Page 9: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Defining the Firm's Capital Structure
Table 15-1 shows that debt ratio is always higher than the debt-to-enterprise value because:
Debt ratio is based on book value and book value of equity is always lower than its market value.
Debt to value ratio excludes non-interest bearing debt in the numerator resulting in a lower value.
![Page 10: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Defining the Firm's Capital Structure
Table 15-1 also reports the Times Interest Earned Ratio, which measures the firm's ability to pay the interest on its debt out of operating earnings.
![Page 11: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Financial Leverage
By borrowing a portion of firm's capital at a fixed rate of interest, firm can “leverage” the rate of return it earns on its total capital into an even higher rate of return on the firm's equity.
For example, if the firm is earning 17% on its investments and paying only 8% on borrowed money, the 9% differential goes to the firm's owners. This is known as favorable financial leverage.
If it earns less than 8%, it will be unfavorable financial leverage.

A First Look at the Modigliani and Miller Capital Structure Theorem
Modigliani-Miller Capital Structure Theorem (M&M) explains what determines capital structure
Logic: If Assumptions 1 and 2 hold, then capital structure does
not matter (does not affect enterprise value) We know capital structure does matter. Therefore, Assumption 1or 2 (or both) does not hold What was assumed away determine capital structure
![Page 14: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
M&M Capital Structure Theorem
M&M showed that, under idealistic conditions, the level of debt in its capital structure does not matter. The theory relies on two basic assumptions:
1. Firm’s cash flows are not affected by financing.2. Financial markets are perfect.
![Page 15: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
M&M Capital Structure Theorem
Assumption 2 of perfect market implies that the packaging of cash flows, that is whether they are distributed to investors as dividends or interest payments, is not important.
When the two assumptions hold, the value of the firm is not affected by how it is financed.
![Page 16: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Capital Structure, the Cost of Equity, and WACC
When there are no taxes, the firm's weighted average cost of capital is also unaffected by its capital structure.
![Page 17: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Capital Structure, the Cost of Equity, and WACC
For simplicity, we are valuing a firm whose cash flows are a level perpetuity.
![Page 18: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Capital Structure, the Cost of Equity, and WACC
Since firm value and firm cash flows are unaffected by the capital structure, the firm's weighted average cost of capital is also unaffected.
![Page 19: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Why Capital Structure Matters in Reality?
Financial managers care a great deal about how their firms are financed. Indeed, there can be negative consequences for firms that select an inappropriate capital structure, which means that, in reality, at least one of the two M&M assumptions is violated.
![Page 21: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Violation of Assumption 2
Transaction costs can be important and because of these costs, the rate at which investors can borrow may differ from the rate at which firms can borrow. When this is the case, firm values may depend on how they are financed.
![Page 22: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Violation of Assumption 1
Capital structure affects the total cash flows available1. Interest is a tax-deductible expense, while dividends
are not. Thus, after taxes, firms have more money to distribute to their debt and equity holders if they use debt financing.
2. Debt financing creates a fixed legal obligation. If the firm defaults on its payments, the firm will incur the added cost that the bankruptcy process entails.
3. The threat of bankruptcy can influence the behavior of a firm's executives as well as its employees and customers.
![Page 23: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Corporate Taxes and Capital Structure
Since interest payments are tax deductible (and dividends are not), the after-tax cash flows will be higher if the firm's capital structure includes more debt.
![Page 24: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Bankruptcy and Financial Distress Costs
Even though debt provides valuable tax savings, a firm cannot keep on increasing debt. If the firm's debt obligations (i.e. interest expense) exceed it's ability to generate cash, it will be forced into bankruptcy and incur financial distress costs.
![Page 25: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Tradeoff Theory and the Optimal Capital Structure
Thus two factors can have material impact on the role of capital structure in determining firm value and firms must tradeoff the pluses and minuses of both these factors:
Interest expense is tax deductible. Debt makes it more likely that firms will experience
financial distress costs.

Capital Structure Decisions and Agency Costs
Debt financing can help reduce agency costs. For example, debt financing by creating fixed dollar obligations will reduce the firm's discretionary control over cash and thus reduce wasteful spending.
![Page 28: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Making Financing Choices When Managers are Better Informed than Shareholders
When firms issue new shares, it is perceived that the firm's stock is overpriced and accordingly share price generally falls. This provides an added incentive for firms to prefer debt.
![Page 29: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Making Financing Choices When Managers are Better Informed than Shareholders
Stewart Myers suggested that because of the information issues that arise when firms issue equity, firms tend to adhere to the following pecking order when they raise capital:
Internal sources of financing Marketable securities Debt Hybrid securities Equity
![Page 30: CAPITAL STRUCTURE POLICYpthistle.faculty.unlv.edu/FIN 301_Spring2017/Slides_S17... · 2019-01-17 · Capital Structure Choices in Practice The primary objective of capital structure](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022041804/5e5314ca70400377290eeac7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Managerial Implications
1. Higher levels of debt can benefit the firm due to tax savings and potential to reduce agency costs.
2. Higher levels of debt increase the probability of financial distress costs and offset tax and agency cost benefits of debt.

Why Do Capital Structures Differ Across Industries? Firms in some industries (such as utilities) tend to generate
relatively more taxable income and can benefit more from tax savings on debt.
Financial distress can be fatal for some companies (like computer and software firms like Apple) as consumers will be very reluctant to buy the product if there is a possibility of bankruptcy. Thus such firms will tend to have lower levels of debt.

Benchmarking the Firm's Capital Structure
By benchmarking a firm's capital structure, we compare the firm's current and proposed capital structures to firms that are in similar lines of business and consequently subject to the same types of risks.
Table 15.3 provides a simple template for benchmarking.

Step 4: Analyze
All ratios drop and become stronger. Comparing it to the benchmark ratios, the debt alternative is still more aggressive compared to industry norms. The firm's management will have to determine whether the firm can support a higher than average leverage based on future earnings prospects.

Financial Leverage and the Level of EPS
Firms that use more debt financing will experience greater swings in their earnings per share in response to changes in firm revenues and operating earnings. This is referred to as the financial leverage effect.

Financial Leverage and the Volatility of EPS
We observe that when EBIT is high, a more levered firm will realize higher EPS. However, if EBIT falls, a firm that uses more financial leverage will suffer a large drop in earnings per share (EPS) than a firm that relies less on financial leverage.

Using the EBIT-EPS Chart to Analyze the Effect of Capital Structure on EPS
The EBIT-EPS chart analyzes:
Whether the debt plan produces a higher level of EPS for the most likely range of EBIT values.
Possible swings in EPS that might occur under the capital structure alternatives.

Checkpoint 15.2: Check Yourself
House of Toast likes the new investment very much. However, in the weeks since the project was first analyzed, the firm has learned that credit tightening in the financial markets has caused the cost of debt financing for the debt financing plan to increase to 10%. What level of EBIT produces zero EPS for the new borrowing rate?

Step 1: Picture the Problem
The current and prospective capital structure alternatives can be described using pro forma balance sheets as given in the next slide.

Step 2: Decide on a Solution Strategy
A firm's capital structure will affect both the EPS for a given level of operating earnings (EBIT) and the volatility of changes in EPS corresponding to changes in EBIT. We can use pro forma income statements for a range of levels of EBIT that the firm believes is relevant to its future performance.

Step 4: Analyze
We examine the EPS within the EBIT range of $5,000 to $35,000. The EPS ranges from a low of -$1.33 to a high of $8.67. At EBIT of $9,000, the EPS is equal to zero.

Computing EPS Indifference Points for Capital Structure Alternatives
The point of intersection of the two capital structure lines found in Figure 15-7 is called the EBIT-EPS indifference point. The point identifies the level at which EPS will be the same regardless of the financing plan chosen by the firm.

Computing EPS Indifference Points for Capital Structure Alternatives (cont.)
At EBIT amounts in excess of the EBIT indifference level, the financing plan with more leverage will generate a higher EPS.
At EBIT amounts below the EBIT indifference level, the financing plan involving less leverage will generate a higher EPS.
