Capital Structure & Modigliani-Miller Theorem Revision Sheet

1. 📌 Essentials

  • Capital structure is the ratio of debt and equity financing used by a firm.
  • WACC is the minimum return required, combining costs of debt and equity.
  • Cost of debt = risk-free rate + credit spread, adjusted for taxes.
  • Cost of equity is calculated via CAPM: re=rf+β(rm−rf)r_e = r_f + \beta (r_m - r_f).
  • Modigliani-Miller (MM) Proposition 1 states in perfect markets, capital structure is irrelevant to firm value.
  • Tax advantages of debt create a tax shield, increasing firm value (with taxes).
  • Trade-off theory balances tax benefits against bankruptcy and distress costs.
  • Pecking order theory favors internal funds, then debt, then equity.
  • Agency costs stem from conflicts between managers, shareholders, and debt-holders affecting capital decisions.
  • Market timing theory suggests firms issue equity when markets are overvalued and debt when interest rates are low.
