15、capital structure is optimized where the marginal subsidy to debt equals the marginal cost.oInvestors view debt as a signal of firm value.nFirms with low anticipated profits will take on a low level of debt.nFirms with high anticipated profits will take on a high level of debt.oA manager that takes

16、on more debt than is optimal in order to fool investors will pay the cost in the long run.17.6 Agency Cost of EquityoAn individual will work harder for a firm if he is one of the owners than if he is one of the “hired help.”oWhile managers may have motive to partake in perquisites, they also need op

17、portunity. Free cash flow provides this opportunity.oThe free cash flow hypothesis says that an increase in dividends should benefit the stockholders by reducing the ability of managers to pursue wasteful activities.oThe free cash flow hypothesis also argues that an increase in debt will reduce the

18、ability of managers to pursue wasteful activities more effectively than dividend increases.17.7 The Pecking-Order TheoryoTheory stating that firms prefer to issue debt rather than equity if internal financing is insufficient. nRule 1oUse internal financing firstnRule 2oIssue debt next, new equity la

22、)Personal TaxesoIf TS= TB then the firm should be financed primarily by debt (avoiding double tax).oThe firm is indifferent between debt and equity when:(1-TC) x (1-TS) = (1-TB)17.10 How Firms Establish Capital StructureoMost corporations have low Debt-Asset ratios.oChanges in financial leverage aff
