M&M (Debt Policy Doesn’t Matter)

Modigliani & MillerWhen there are no taxes and capital markets

function well, the market value of a company does not depend on its capital structure. In other words, financial managers cannot increase value by changing the mix securities used to finance the company.


McGraw-Hill/Irwin

15- 6


Assumptions

By issuing 1 security rather than 2, company diminishes investor choice. This does not reduce value if: Investors do not need choice, OR There are sufficient alternative securities

Capital structure does not affect cash flows e.g...No taxesNo bankruptcy costsNo effect on management incentives

Should you do this and why?

Capital Structure

PV of Tax Shield = (assume perpetuity)

D x rD x Tc

rD

= D x Tc

Example:

Tax benefit = 10,000 x (.06) x (.35) = $210

PV of 210 perpetuity = 210 / .06 = $3,500

PV Tax Shield = D x Tc = 10,000 x .35 = $3,500
