Advantages of DebtInterest is tax deductible (lowers the
effective cost of debt)Debt-holders are limited to a fixed return
– so stockholders do not have to share profits if the business does exceptionally well
Debt holders do not have voting rights
![Page 3: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Disadvantages of DebtHigher debt ratios lead to greater risk and
higher required interest rates (to compensate for the additional risk)
![Page 4: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is the optimal debt-equity ratio?
Need to consider two kinds of risk:◦Business risk◦Financial risk
![Page 5: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Business RiskStandard measure is beta (controlling for
financial risk)Factors:
◦Demand variability◦Sales price variability◦ Input cost variability◦Ability to develop new products◦Foreign exchange exposure◦Operating leverage (fixed vs variable costs)
![Page 6: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Financial RiskThe additional risk placed on the
common stockholders as a result of the decision to finance with debt
![Page 7: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Example of Business RiskSuppose 10 people decide to form a
corporation to manufacture disk drives.If the firm is capitalized only with
common stock – and if each person buys 10% -- each investor shares equally in business risk
![Page 8: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Example of Relationship Between Financial and Business RiskIf the same firm is now capitalized with
50% debt and 50% equity – with five people investing in debt and five investing in equity
The 5 who put up the equity will have to bear all the business risk, so the common stock will be twice as risky as it would have been had the firm been all-equity (unlevered).
![Page 9: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Business and Financial RiskFinancial leverage concentrates the firm’s
business risk on the shareholders because debt-holders, who receive fixed interest payments, bear none of the business risk
![Page 10: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Financial RiskLeverage increases shareholder riskLeverage also increases the return on
equity (to compensate for the higher risk)
![Page 11: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Question?Is the increase in expected return due to
financial leverage sufficient to compensate stockholders for the increase in risk?
![Page 12: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Modigliani and MillerYESAssuming no taxes, the increase in return
to shock-holders resulting from the use of leverage is exactly offset by the increase in risk – hence no benefit to using financial leverage (and no cost).
![Page 13: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Topics To Be CoveredLeverage in a Tax Free EnvironmentHow Leverage Affects ReturnsThe Traditional Position

Capital StructureWhen a firm issues debt and equity
securities it splits cash flows into two streams:◦Safe stream to bondholders◦Risky stream to stockholders
![Page 15: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Capital StructureModigliani and Miller (1958) show that
financing decisions don’t matter in perfect capital markets
M&M Proposition 1:◦Firms cannot change the total value of their
securities by splitting cash flows into two different streams
◦Firm value is determined by real assets◦Capital structure is irrelevant
![Page 16: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
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.
![Page 17: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
M&M (Debt Policy Doesn’t Matter)AssumptionsBy 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
![Page 18: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
An Example of the Effects of Leverage
D and E are market values of debt and equity of Wapshot Marketing Company. Wapshot has issued 1000 shares and these are currently selling at $50 a share. Wapshot has borrowed $25,000 so Wapshot’s stock is “levered equity”.
E = 1000 x $50 = $50,000D= $25,000V = E + D = $75,000
![Page 19: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Effects of LeverageWhat happens if WPS “levers up” again by
borrowing an additional $10,000 and at the same time paying out a special dividend of $10 per share, thereby substituting debt for equity?
This should have no impact on WPS assets or total cash flows:◦ V is unchanged◦ D= $35,000◦ E= $75,000 - $35,000 = $40,000
Stockholders will suffer a $10,000 capital loss which is exactly offset by the $10,000 special dividend.
![Page 20: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Effects of LeverageWhat if instead of assuming V is
unchanged we allow V it rise to $80,000 as a result of the change in capital structure?
Then E = $80,000 - $35,000 = $45,000Any increase or decrease in V as a result
of the change in capital structure accrues to the shareholders
![Page 21: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Effects of LeverageWhat if the new borrowing increases the
risk of bankruptcy?This would suggest that the risk of the
“old debt” is higher (and the value of the old debt is lower)
If this is the case, then shareholders would gain from the increase in leverage at the expense of the original bondholders.
![Page 22: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Modigliani and MillerAny combination of securities is as good
as any other.Example:
◦Two Firms with the same operating income who differ only in capital structure
Firm U is unlevered: VU=EU
Firm L is levered: EL= VL-DL
![Page 23: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Modigliani and Miller Four Strategies Strategy 1
◦ Buy 1% of Firm U’s Equity Dollar investment = .01VU
Dollar Return= .01 Profits Strategy 2
◦ Buy 1% of Firm L’s Equity and Debt Dollar investment= .01DL + .01EL = .01VL
Dollar Return= From owning .01 DL .01 interest From owning .01 EL .01 (Profits – interest) Total .01 Profits
Both Strategies give the same payoff
![Page 24: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Modigliani and MillerStrategy 3
◦ Buy 1% of Firm L’s Equity Dollar investment = .01EL= .01(VL-DL) Dollar Return= .01 (Profits – interest)
Strategy 4◦ Buy 1% of Firm U’s Equity and borrow on your own
account .01DL (home-made leverage) Dollar investment= .01(Vu – DL)
Dollar Return= From borrowing .01DL -.01 interest From owning .01 EU .01 (Profits) Total .01 (Profits – interest)
Both Strategies give the same payoff
![Page 25: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Modigliani and MillerIt does not matter what risk preferences
are for investors.Just need that investors have the ability
to borrow and lend for their own account (and at the same rate as firms) so that they can “undo” any changes in firm’s capital structure
M&M Proposition 1: the value of a firm is independent of its capital structure

M&M Proposition 2Bonds are almost risk-free at low debt levels
◦ rD is independent of leverage◦ rE increases linearly with debt-equity ratios and the
increase in expected return reflects increased riskAs firms borrow more, the risk of default rises
◦ rD starts to increase◦ rE increases more slowly (because the holders of risky
debt bear some of the firm’s business risk)
![Page 29: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The Return on EquityThe increase in expected equity return
reflects increased riskThe increase in leverage increases the
amplitude of variation in cash flows available to share-holders (the same change in operating income is now distributed among fewer shares)
We can understand the increase in risk in terms of Betas

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

The Traditional PositionThe return on equity (rE) is constantWACC declines with increasing leverage
because rD<rE
Given the two assumptions above, a firm will minimize the cost of capital by issuing almost 100% debt
This can’t be correct!

An intermediate positionA moderate degree of financial leverage
may increase the return on equity (but less than predicted by M&M proposition 2)
A high degree of financial leverage increases the return on equity (but by more than predicted by M&M proposition 2)
WACC then declines at first, then rises with increasing leverage (U-shape)
Its minimum point is the point of “optimal capital structure”.

The intermediate positionInvestors don’t notice risk of “moderate”
borrowingThey wake up with debt is “excessive”The problem with this view is that it confuses
default risk with financial risk.◦ Default risk may not be serious for moderate
amounts of leverage◦ Financial risk (in terms of increased volatility of return
and higher beta) will increase with leverage even with no risk of default

Modigliani and Miller Revisited M&M proposition 1: A firm’s total value is
independent of its capital structure Assumptions needed for Prop 1 to hold:
1. Capital markets are perfect and complete2. Before-tax operating profits are not affected by
capital structure3. Corporate and personal taxes are not affected by
capital structure4. The firm’s choice of capital structure does not
convey important information to the market

Modigliani and Miller RevisitedM&M Proposition 2: The return on equity
will rise as the debt-equity ratio rises in order to compensate equity holders for the additional (financial) risk.
Note: Proposition 2 does not rely on default risk – rE rises because of the rise in financial risk

Example - You own all the equity in a company. The company has no debt. The company’s annual cash flow is $1,000, before interest and taxes. The corporate tax rate is 40%. You have the option to exchange 1/2 of your equity position for 10% bonds with a face value of $1,000.

M&M with taxes and bankruptcyWACC now is more hump-shaped (similar
to the traditional view – though for different reasons).
The minimum WACC occurs where the stock price is maximized.
Thus, the same capital structure that maximizes stock price also minimizes the WACC

Financial Choices
Trade-off Theory - Theory that capital structure is based on a trade-off between tax savings and distress costs of debt.
Pecking Order Theory - Theory stating that firms prefer to issue debt rather than equity if internal finance is insufficient.
![Page 54: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Pecking Order Theory The announcement of a stock issue drives down the stock price
because investors believe managers are more likely to issue when shares are overpriced.
Therefore firms prefer internal finance since funds can be raised without sending adverse signals.
If external finance is required, firms issue debt first and equity as a last resort.
The most profitable firms borrow less not because they have lower target debt ratios but because they don't need external finance.
![Page 55: Capital structure](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081400/55490ad1b4c90565458b9298/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Pecking Order Theory
Some Implications:Internal equity may be better than
external equity.Financial slack is valuable.If external capital is required, debt is
better. (There is less room for difference in opinions about what debt is worth).
