Topics Covered

Leverage in a Tax Free Environment How Leverage Affects Returns The Traditional Position

17- 3


M&M (Debt Policy Doesn’t Matter)

Modigliani & Miller When there are no taxes and capital markets

function well, it makes no difference whether the firm borrows or individual shareholders borrow. Therefore, the market value of a company does not depend on its capital structure.

17- 4



Assumptions

By issuing 1 security rather than 2, company diminishes investor choice. This does not reduce value if: Investors do not need choice, OR There are sufficient alternative securities

Capital structure does not affect cash flows e.g... No taxes No bankruptcy costs No effect on management incentives

WACC

Example - A firm has $2 mil of debt and 100,000 of outstanding shares at $30 each. If they can borrow at 8% and the stockholders require 15% return what is the firm’s WACC?

D = $2 million

E = 100,000 shares X $30 per share = $3 million

V = D + E = 2 + 3 = $5 million
