Capital Structure
• What do we mean?
• Basically, can we maximise shareholders wealth by varying the proportions of debt and equity in a company’s capital make up?
copyright anbirts 3
Capital Structure
• Notationally
Ko = Ki x (D) + Ke x (E) (D+E) (D+E)
Ko = Overall Average cost of Capital
Ki = Cost of Debt D = Amount of Debt
Ke= Cost of Equity E = Amount of Equity

Capital Structure
• As Debt is usually cheaper than equity, why is it not an open and shut case?
• Consider Return on a project = 15% Needs £200-00 of capital Cash Return = £30 If all financing is equity then obviously ROE (return on equity) = 30 = 15% 200

Capital Structure
• Suppose instead it is financed 50/50 debt/ equity and cost of debt = 10%
• Then: Total Return = 30 Interest cost = 10 (100 x .10) Net Return 20
ROE = 20 = 20% 100So far so good, some very happy shareholders
copyright anbirts 6
Capital Structure
• But disaster strikes and the return falls to £15• Now the returns are
Total returns = 15
Interest cost = 10
Net return = 5
ROE = 5 = 5%
100

Capital Structure
• Whereas if the shareholders had not been so bold and had financed all Equity
ROE = 15 = 7.5% 200
What effect has leverage had?
copyright anbirts 8
Capital Structure
• Results Range of ROEs %• Leveraged 20 - 5• Un-leveraged 15 – 7.5
• What effect will this have on expected/required equity returns?

Capital Structure
Theoretical Positions• Net Operating Approach (the ‘makes no
difference camp’)
• Traditional Approach (the ‘yes it does camp’)
• Modigliani and Miller (the ‘we can prove it does not matter camp’)
copyright anbirts 10
Capital Structure
• Net Operating Approach Net operating income 1,000 Capitalisation rate (cost of Capital) .15 Total value of firm 6,667 Market value of debt (cost 10%) 1,000 Market value of equity 5,667 Earnings for equity 1,000 – 100 = 900 ROE = 900 = 15.88% 5,667
copyright anbirts 11
Capital Structure
• Now change debt to 3,000• Operating income still 1,000 Overall capitalisation rate .15 Total value of firm 6,667 Market value of debt 3,000 Market value of equity 3,667 New equity earnings (1,000 – 300) = 700 ROE = 700 = 19.09 3,667 But note that total value of the firm is constant

Capital StructureTraditional approach – assumes there is an optimal structure therefore
judicious use of leverage will increase value of firm

Capital Structure
Arbitrage Support
• Basically the argument is i) that the company can do nothing that the shareholders cannot do for themselves and ii) that value comes from the cash flows into the company not from fiddling about within the company.

Capital Structure
• M&M would argue that it would not be possible for one company to remain ‘more valuable ‘ than the other, since the over valued company would be sold and the under valued company bought, until the prices equalise’.
• A shareholder in B would do this, replicating Bs actions
copyright anbirts 16
Capital Structure
• Investor in B (IB) owns 1% of B i.e. 400• IB sell their shares for 400 Return would have been 64 (1% of 6,400)• IB borrows 300 (1% of B’s debt) @ 12%• IB buys 1% of A for 666.7 Net position• Return on A 100.0• Less interest 36.0• Net return 64.0 same as in B but for 33.3 less personal outlay (700 – 666.7)
so could spend on more A

Capital Structure
• QED• But the proof relies on a few assumptions• Capital markets are perfect (information is costless, no taxes, no
transaction costs and so on)• And they are not• So we need to consider the imperfections
copyright anbirts 18
Capital Structure
Effects of imperfections
• Taxes
• Financial distress
• Bankruptcy
• Corporate/private leverage
• Non debt tax shields

Capital Structure• Taxes Co A Co B EBIT 2,000 2,000 Interest* - 600 Profit before tax 2,000 1,400 Taxes @ 40% 800 560 Shareholders income 1,200 840
Total income to debt andShareholders 1,200 1,440
*(5,000 of debt @ 12% in B)
copyright anbirts 20
Capital Structure
• But has this increased shareholder value?• Yes Suppose companies A and B have £8,000
of Capital. Co A would have 8,000 shares of £1-00 each• Company A’s RoE is 1,200 = 15% 8,000EPS = 15 pence, suppose PE = 6.66 Share value = 1.00
copyright anbirts 21
Capital Structure
• Company B’s Capital is:
• 5,000 debt
• 3,000 equity
• Therefore B’s RoE is 840 = 28%
3,000
EPS = 28 pence, PE is 6.66
Share value = 1.87

Capital Structure
A gift from the Government?• Suppose debt interest was deducted after tax. • Then• EBIT 2,000• Tax at 40% 800• Net after tax 1,200• Deduct debt interest 600• Income for shareholders 600
copyright anbirts 23
Capital Structure
• Where does that leave us?
• RoE = 600 = 20% 3,000
So where does the extra 8% come from?
240 = 8% 3,000

Capital Structure
So how will we decide on leverage level?
• Industry norms
• Coverage ratios
* interest
* interest plus principal
copyright anbirts 30
Capital StructureCoverage Ratios
• Interest EBIT Interest on DebtOr 7,000,000 = 3.89 1,800,000*
• 8 % of 22,500,000 loan repayable over 10 years tax rate of 25%
copyright anbirts 31
Capital structureCoverage Ratios
• Interest plus Principal• EBIT Interest + Principal 1 – Tax Rate
7,000,000 1,800,000 + 2,250,000 = 1.46 1-.25

Capital StructureCoverage Ratios
But what is a suitable coverage ratio?• Variability
• Trend Analysis
• Industry Norms
• All Commitments
copyright anbirts 33
Capital Structure
• Profitability * pecking order• Size * portfolio effect * pecking order• Asset type• Volatility of earnings• International / cultural norms
copyright anbirts 34
Capital Structure
• EBIT/EPS Analysis• Question, what form of financing will result
in the largest EPS?• Situation (Example from Van Horne)- Co issued 200,000 shares worth 50 each- Co needs to borrow a further 5,000,000- Co may borrow at 12%- Tax Rate 40%
