Learning ObjectivesLearning Objectives Understand the concept of an optimal capital structure. Explain the main underpinnings of capital structure theory. Distinguish between the independence hypothesis and

dependence hypothesis as these concepts relate to capital structure theory theory, and identify the Nobel prize winners in economics who are leading proponents of the independence hypothesis.

Understand and be able to graph the moderate position on capital structure importance.

Incorporate the concepts of agency costs and free cash flow into a discussion on capital structure management.

Use the basic tools of capital structure management. Familiarize others with corporate financing policies in practice.

For all theories, will use a simple valuation model:

P0 = D kc

where: P0 = price of stockD = constant dividendKc = cost of equity capital

For all theories, will use a simple valuation model:

If all earnings paid as dividends, so there is no growth:

P0 = D kc

where: P0 = price of stockD = constant dividendKc = cost of equity capital

P0 = D kc

of bankruptcy.The costs of equity and debt rise causing a “saucer-

shaped” cost of capital function.Firms should choose financial leverage with lowest

31Capital Structure in PracticeCapital Structure in Practice

The majority of financial officers believe there is an optimal capital structure for their company.

Managers adapt financial leverage to the business cycle, taking advantage of debt when it is less expensive.

The most important factor in determining leverage is a firm’s business risk.

Managers’ optimal choice to finance new projects is to use retained earnings.

Only after internal funds are exhausted, managers’ choice of leverage is consistent with the Moderate Theory of financial leverage.
