CAPITAL STRUCTURE

According to Gerestenbeg, “Capital structure of


a company refers to the composition or make-up
of its capitalisation and it includes all long-term
capital resources viz : loans, reserves, shares and
books.”
THEORIES OF CAPITAL
STRUCTURE
• The main contributors to the theories are Durand, Ezra, Solomon,
Modigliani and Miller.
• The important theories are:
1. Net Income Approach.
2. Net Operating Income Approach.
3. The Traditional Approach.
4. Modigliani and Miller Approach.
1. Net Income Approach:
This approach has been developed by Durand. The main findings
are:
 Capital structure decisions are relevant to the valuation of the
firm.
 Increased use of debt will increase the shareholders’ earning.
ASSUMPTIONS
• Capital structure consists of debt and equity.
• Cost of debt is less than cost of equity (i.e. Kd<Ke).
• The use of debt content does not change the risk perception of
investors.
CALCULATION OF THE VALUE OF THE FIRM

• According to Net Income Approach the value of the firm can be


ascertained as follows:
• V = S+ D
where,
V= Value of the firm
S= Market value of equity=Earnings available for equity shareholders/
Equity capitalisation rate.
D= Market value of debt.
CALCULATION OF OVERALL COST
OF CAPITAL
• According to Net Income Approach the overall cost of capital or
expected rate of return (WACC) can be calculated as follows:
• (Ko) = EBIT X 100
v
where,
Ko= Overall cost of capital
EBIT= Earnings before interest and tax
V= Value of firm
2. NET OPERATING INCOME
(NOI) APPROACH
Another theory of capital structure, suggested but Durand, is the Net
Operating Income approach. This approach is simply opposite to the
Net Income approach.
• The main findings are:
Capital structure decisions are irrelevant to the valuation of the
firm:.
Increased use of debt will increase the financial risk of the
shareholders.
ASSUMPTIONS

(a) The market capitalises the value of firm as a whole.


(b) Cost of debt (Kd) is constant.
(c) Increases use of debt increases the financial risk of equity shareholder
which, in turn, raises the cost of equity (Ke).
(d) Overall cost of capital (Ko) remains constant for all levels of debt equ
mix.
(e) There is no corporate income tax.
VARIOUS CALCULATION UNDER NET OPERATING INCOME
APPROACH ARE EXPLAINED BELOW:

1. Value of Firm (V): 2. Market Value of Equity (S):


V = EBIT S =V–D
Ko where, S= Market value of equity
where,
V= Value of firm
V = Value of firm
D = Market value of debt.
Ko= Overall Cost of Capital
EBIT= Earnings Before Interest & taxes
NET OPERATING INCOME
V/S NET INCOME
APPROACH
