Capital Restructuring
We are going to look at
how changes in capital
structure impact the
value of the firm,
all else equal.
16-4
Capital restructuring
involves changing the
amount of leverage a firm
has without changing the
Choosing a Capital
Structure
What is the primary goal of
financial managers?
Maximize stockholder
wealth!
We want to choose the
capital structure that will
maximize stockholder
wealth.
16-5
The Effect of
Leverage
When we increase the amount of debt
financing, we increase the fixed
interest expense
If we have a really good year, then we
pay our fixed cost and we have more
left over for our stockholders
If we have a really bad year, we still
have to pay our fixed costs and we
have less left over for our
stockholders
16-6
The Effect of
Leverage
How does leverage impact the
EPS and ROE of a firm?
Leverage amplifies the variation
in both EPS and ROE. A small
change in leverage generates a
large change in profits.
16-7
Example: Financial
Leverage, EPS and
ROE: Part I
(We will ignore the effect of taxes at
this stage.)
What happens to EPS and ROE when we
issue debt and buy back shares of
stock?
Financial Leverage Example
16-8
Example: Financial
Leverage, EPS and
ROE: Part II
Variability in ROE
Current: ROE ranges from 6% to 20%
Proposed: ROE ranges from 2% to 30%
Variability in EPS
Current: EPS ranges from $0.60 to
$2.00
Proposed: EPS ranges from $0.20 to
$3.00
16-9
Break-Even EBIT
We are trying to find the
Earnings Before Interest
and Taxes (EBIT) where the
Earnings Per Share (EPS) is
the same under both the
current and proposed
capital structures.
16-10
Break-Even EBIT
If we expect the EBIT to be greater
than the break-even point, then
leverage may be beneficial to our
stockholders.
If we expect the EBIT to be less than
the break-even point, then leverage
is detrimental to our stockholders.

Proposition II WACC
The Weighted Average Cost
of Capital (WACC) of the firm
is NOT influenced by the
capital structure.

Proposition I + Case
I
The value of the firm is
NOT affected by changes
in the capital structure
The cash flows of the firm
do not change; therefore,
value doesnt change
16-18
Prop I + Case I
Equations
WACC = RA = (E/V)RE + (D/V)RD
RE = RA + (RA RD)(D/E)
RA is the cost of the firms
business risk, i.e., the risk of the
firms assets

Proposition I + Case I
Example 1
Data:
Required return on assets =
16%
= 20.91%
Proposition I + Case
II
Interest is now tax deductible
Therefore, when a firm adds debt, it
reduces taxes, all else equal
The reduction in taxes increases the
cash flow of the firm
How should an increase in cash flows
change the value of the firm?

Proposition I + Case
II
The value of the firm increases by
the present value of the annual
interest tax shield
Value of a levered firm = value of an
unlevered firm + PV of interest tax shield
Value of equity = Value of the firm Value
of debt

II Example 2
Data:
EBIT = $25 million; Tax rate =
35%; Debt = $75 million; Cost of
debt = 9%; Unlevered cost of
capital = 12%
16-27
M&M Proposition II +
Case II
The WACC decreases as D/E
increases because of the
government subsidy on interest
payments
RE = RU + (RU RD)(D/E)(1-TC)
RA = (E/V)RE + (D/V)(RD)(1-TC)
Example
16-28
RE = 12 + (12-9)(75/86.67)(1-.35) =
13.69%
RA = (86.67/161.67)(13.69) +
(75/161.67)(9)(1-.35)
M&M Proposition II +
Case II
RA = (E/V)RE + (D/V)(RD)(1-TC)
RE = RU + (RU RD)(D/E)(1-TC)
Example:
RE = 12 + (12-9)(75/86.67)(1-.35)
= 13.69%
RA = (86.67/161.67)(13.69) +
(75/161.67)(9)(1-.35)

Case II Example

Suppose that the firm changes its
capital structure so that the debtto-equity ratio becomes 1.0 (50%
D + 50% E)
What will happen to the cost of
equity under the new capital
structure?

M&M Proposition II
+Case III
M&M Proposition II
+Case III
At some point, the
additional value of the
interest tax shield will
be offset by the
increase in expected
bankruptcy cost
At this point, the value
of the firm will start to
decrease, and the
WACC will start to
increase as more debt
16-34
Bankruptcy Costs
Direct costs:
Legal and
administrative
costs
Ultimately cause
bondholders to
incur additional
losses
16-35
Disincentive to
Bankruptcy Costs
Financial
distress:
Significant
problems in
meeting debt
obligations
16-36
Firms that
experience
financial distress
More Bankruptcy
Costs
Indirect bankruptcy costs
Larger than direct costs, but
more difficult to measure and
estimate
Stockholders want to avoid a
formal bankruptcy filing
16-37
Even More
Bankruptcy Costs
Indirect bankruptcy costs
Assets lose value as
management spends time
worrying about avoiding
bankruptcy instead of running
the business

The Pecking-Order
Theory
Theory stating that
firms prefer to issue
debt rather than equity
if internal financing is
insufficient.

Rule 1
Use internal financing
first
Rule 2
Issue debt next,
The Pecking-Order
Theory
The pecking-order theory is
at odds with the tradeoff
theory:
There is no target D/E ratio
Profitable firms use less
debt
Companies like financial
slack

Comprehensive
Problem
Assuming perpetual cash flows in Case II Proposition I, what is the value of the
equity for a firm with:
EBIT = $50 million
Tax rate = 40%
Debt = $100 million
cost of debt = 9%
and unlevered cost of capital = 12%
