The main difference between MM II (Modigliani Miller Model with Corporate Taxes) and Miller Model with Corporate and Personal Taxes is: MM II concludes that a capital structure with 100% debt is optimal but the Miller Model states that a capital structure with 100% equity is optimal. MM II concludes that a capital structure with 100% equity is optimal but the Miller Model states that a capital structure with 100% debt is optimal. Both conclude that a levered firm's value...

8. More on capital structure theory The Modigliani and Miller theories are based on several unrealistic assumptions about debt financing. In reality, there are costs, taxes, and other factors associated with debt financing. These costs or effects have led to several theories that explain the impact of these factors on the capital structure of a firm. Based on your understanding of the trade-off theory, what kind of firms are likely to use more leverage? Firms with a higher proportion of...

Why focus on the optimal capital structure? A company's capital structure decisions address the ways a firm's assets are financed (using debt, preferred stock and common equity capital) and is often presented as a percentage of the type of financing used As with all financial decisions, the firm should try to set a capital structure that maximizes the stock price, or shareholder value. This is called the optimal capital structure Which of the following statements regarding a firm's optimal capital...
