Background
Two major decisions that concern managers includedetermining:
Which projects create the most value
Which mix of sources of capital is best for nancing the rmsinvestments
Too much debt is damaging because the rm will have diculty
in servicing its debtToo little debt is scally inecient because of the taxdeductibility of interest expenses
How should a rm choose its debte!uity ratio"
This part examines how managers should combine debtand e!uity nancing to achieve an optimal or targetcapital structure that maximi#es the value of the rmsassets

The Pie
The value of a rm is dened to be the sumof the value of the rms debt and therms e!uity$
V %D+ E If the goal of the firmsmanagement is to
maximize the value of the
firm, then the firm should
pick the debt-equity ratio
that makes the pie as big
as possible.alue of the !irm

The usual case

Thus' we will be focusing on how todetermine the optimal capital structure thatmaximi#es rm value$

%n interpretation o& MM
GG indicate that managers cannot change the valueof a rm by repac(aging the rms securities
The si#e of the pie does not change' no matter howstoc(holders and bondholders divide it
+ rms capital structure is irrelevant
GG argue that the rms overall cost of capitalcannot be reduced as debt is substituted for e!uity'even if debt is cheaper than e!uity$
+s the rm adds debt' the remaining e!uity becomesmore ris(y and the cost of e!uity capital rises as aresult$
Hence' the increase in the cost of e!uity capital o*setsthe higher proportion of the rm nanced by low?costdebt
oth the value of the rm and the rms overall cost of
capital are invariant to leverage
