Should you do this and why?

Capital Structure & Corporate Taxes
PV of Tax Shield = (assume perpetuity) D x rD x Tc
rD
= D x Tc
Example:
Tax benefit = 2,000,000 x (.05) x (.35) = $35,000
PV of $35,000 in perpetuity = 35,000 / .05 = $700,000
PV Tax Shield = $2,000,000 x .35 = $700,000

Capital Structure & Corporate Taxes
Firm Value =
Value of All Equity Firm + PV Tax Shield
Example
All Equity Value = 585 / .05 = 11,700,000
PV Tax Shield = 700,000
Firm Value with 1/2 Debt = $12,400,000

rights to the assets by paying off the $50 debt.

Conflicts of Interest
Circular File Company value (assumes a safe project with NPV = $5)
While firm value rises, the lack of a high potential payoff for shareholders causes a decrease in equity value.

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.
18-31
Trade Off Theory & Prices
1. Stock-for-debt Stock price
exchange offers falls
Debt-for-stock Stock price
exchange offers rises
2. Issuing common stock drives down stock prices; repurchase increases stock prices.
3. Issuing straight debt has a small negative impact.
18-32
Issues and Stock Prices
Why do security issues affect stock price? The demand for a firm’s securities ought to be flat.
Any firm is a drop in the bucket.
Plenty of close substitutes.
Large debt issues don’t significantly depress the stock price.
18-33
Pecking Order Theory
Consider the following story:
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.
18-34
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).
