CAPITAL STRUCTURE

•You should discuss the implications of the various capital structure theories for optimal capital
structure as they apply to your assigned company including:
o Trade-off theory
The trade-off between tax benefits of debt (including personal taxes and dividend
imputation credits (see Topic 8)) and the financial distress costs
The implications of the trade-off theory determinants (see Topic 6) of optimal
leverage for the optimal leverage of the firm.
•Analyses of the determinants should be both qualitative and quantitative.
You may incorporate stakeholder theory, agency theory and predation theory (see
Topic 7) along the trade-off theory determinants mentioned above in a broader
trade-off theory framework.
The analyses of the broader trade-off theory determinants should be detailed
and should form the bulk of your analyses of optimal leverage.
o Agency theory
o Stakeholder theory
o Predation / Product market completion theory
•You should determine the optimal leverage or optimal leverage range of the firm and whether the
firm should increase, decrease or maintain its current leverage.
•You should also suggest how and when any recommended leverage change should be
implemented•You should discuss the implications of the various capital structure theories for optimal capital
