Capital structure
1 In reality, capital structure may be highly complex and include dozens of sources.

Capital structure
1 This analysis can then be extended to look at whether there is in fact an
optimal capital structure: the one which maximizes the value of the
firm.

Capital structure - Capital structure in a perfect market
1 Their first 'proposition' was that the value of a company is independent of its capital
structure

Capital structure - Capital structure in a perfect market
1 Their analysis was extended to include the effect of taxes and risky debt. Under a classical tax system, the tax deductibility of interest makes debt financing valuable;
that is, the cost of capital decreases as the proportion of debt in the capital
structure increases. The optimal structure, then would be to have virtually
no equity at all, i.e. a capital structure consisting of 99.99% debt.

Capital structure - Capital structure in the real world
1 If capital structure is irrelevant in a perfect market, then imperfections
which exist in the real world must be the cause of its relevance. The
theories below try to address some of these imperfections, by relaxing
assumptions made in the MM model.

Capital structure - Agency Costs
1 There are three types of agency costs which can help explain the relevance of capital
structure.

Capital structure - Other
1 * Market timing hypothesis—capital structure is the outcome of the
historical cumulative timing of the market by managers.

1 * Capital structure substitution theory—managements of public companies manipulate capital
structure such that earnings per share are maximized.

Trade-off theory of capital structure
1 This theory is often set up as a competitor theory to the pecking order theory of capital
structure

Trade-off theory of capital structure - Evidence
1 Welch has argued that firms do not undo the impact of stock price
shocks as they should under the basic trade-off theory and so the
mechanical change in Asset pricing|asset prices that makes up for most
of the variation in capital structure.http://www.nber.org/papers/

Trade-off theory of capital structure - Evidence
1 Despite such criticisms, the trade-off theory remains the dominant theory
of corporate capital structure as taught in the main corporate finance
textbooks. Dynamic version of the model generally seem to offer
enough flexibility in matching the data so, contrary to Miller's verbal
argument, dynamic trade-off models are very hard to reject empirically.

Trade-off theory of capital structure - Evidence
1 Thus, it seems that the optimal capital structure is absent in famous trade off theory

Capital structure substitution theory
1 The theory is used to explain trends in capital structure, valuation
(finance)|stock market valuation, dividend decision|dividend policy, the
monetary policy|monetary transmission mechanism, and
volatility (finance)|stock volatility, and provides an alternative to the Modigliani–Miller theorem that has limited descriptive validity in real
marketshttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-capital-structure-toolkit.html
Capital structure substitution theory - Assumptions
1 * Managements of public companies manipulate capital structure such
that earnings-per-share are maximized.

Capital structure substitution theory - Assumptions
1 * Managements can freely change the capital structure of the company – substituting bonds for stock or vice versa – on a day-to-day basis and in
small denominations.

Fonterra - Changes to capital structure
1 The board responded in 2008 by shelving the November 2007 proposal and
continuing consultation and discussion with farmer shareholders. In September 2009, the board announced a three-step
process to revamp Fonterra’s capital structure. The new approach abandoned
thoughts of a public listing of Fonterra shares and retained 100% farmer control
and ownership of the co-operative.

profitable business opportunities and drive a higher payout to dairy
farmers.
