Homework Answers
The optimal capital structure
The correct answer is
(4) of a firm will vary over time as taxes and market conditions change.
The optimal capital structure for a firm is where the WACC is least and the value of firm maximizes and it will vary as market conditions change and required rate.
The other options are not correct because optimal capital structure can not remain constant because with change in market condition, the required rate changes. The optimal capital is significantly affected by the changes in financial markets. The optimal capital structure focuses more on the financing of the firm rather than operation of the firm. The optimal capital structure can not be same for all industries. It can even differ for two companies in the same sector.

By indicating the conditions under which capital structure is irrelevant, they provided dues about what is required to make capital structure relevant and impact a firm's value. In 1963 they wrote a paper that included the impact of corporate taxes on capital structure....
