1. Chapter 16Financial Leverage and Capital Structure Policy
2. What is meant by capital restructuringWhat is the primary goal of financial managers?Can leverage help in achieving such goals?Capital Restructuring
3. Capital RestructuringWe are going to look at how changes in capital structure affect the value of the firm, all else equalCapital restructuring involves changing the amount of leverage a firm has without changing the firm’s assetsThe firm can increase leverage by issuing debt and repurchasing outstanding sharesThe firm can decrease leverage by issuing new shares and retiring outstanding debt
4. What is the primary goal of financial managers?Maximize stockholder wealthWe want to choose the capital structure that will maximize stockholder wealthWe can maximize stockholder wealth by maximizing the value of the firm or minimizing the WACCChoosing a Capital Structure
5. The extent to which a firm relies on debtThe more debt financing a firm uses in its capital structure, the more financial leverage it employsFinancial Leverage
6. Financial leverage, EPS, and ROE: an exampleReview the example in word file CH16
7. Break-Even EBITFind EBIT where EPS is the same under both the current and proposed capital structuresIf we expect EBIT to be greater than the break-even point, then leverage is beneficial to our stockholdersIf we expect EBIT to be less than the break-even point, then leverage is detrimental to our stockholders
8. Ex 1 Page 569 (SOLUTION IN WORD CH16)Maynard, Inc., has no debt outstanding and a total market value of 250,000$. EBIT are projected to be 28,000$ if economic conditions are normal. If there is strong expansion in the economy, then EBIT will be 30 percent higher. If there is a recession, then EBIT will be 50 percent lower. Maynard is considering a 90,000$ debt issue with a 7 percent interest rate. The proceeds will be used to repurchase a share of stock. There are currently 5,000 shares outstanding. Ignore taxes for this problemCalculate EPS under each of the three economic scenarios before any debt is issued. Also calculate the percentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession.Repeat part (a) assuming that the economy goes with recapitalization. What do you observe?
9. Ex 4 Page 542James Corporation is comparing two different capital structures: an all equity plan (plan I) and a levered plan (plan II). Under plan I, the company would have 160,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under plan II, there would be 80,000 shares of stock outstanding and 2.8$ million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 8 percent and there are no taxes.If EBIT is 350,000$, which plan will result in the higher EPS?If EBIT is 500,000$, which plan will result in the higher EPS?What is the break-even EBIT?
10. Corporate borrowing & home made leverageThe effect of leverage depends on the company’s EBIT. When EBIT is relatively high, leverage is beneficialUnder the expected scenarios, leverage increase the returns to shareholders, as measured by both ROE and EPSShareholders are exposed to more risk under the proposed capital structure because the EPS and ROE are much more sensitive to changes in EBIT in this caseBecause of the impact that financial leverage has on both the expected return to stockholder and the riskiness of the stock, capital structure is an important consideration
11. Homemade leverage: the use of personal borrowing to change the overall amount of financial leverage to which the individual is exposed.REVIEW THE WORD CH16 EXAMPLE ON HOMEMADE LEVERAGE.Corporate borrowing & home made leverage

13. Ex 9 Page 543ABC Co. and XYZ Co. are identical firms in all respects except for their capital structure. ABC is all equity financed with 600,000$ in stock. XYZ uses both stock and perpetual debt; its stock is worth 300,000$ and the interest rate on its debt is 8 percent. Both firms expect EBIT to be 80,000$Rico owns 30,000$ worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?Show how Rico could generate exactly the same cash flows and rate of return by investing in ABC and using homemade leverage?
14. Modigliani and Miller (M&M)Theory of Capital StructureProposition I (no taxes): the value of the firm is independent of the firm’s capital structureThe value of the firm is NOT affected by changes in the capital structure. Which means the value of a levered firm (VL) is equal to the unlevered firm VU (VL=VU)The cash flows of the firm do not change; therefore, value doesn’t change (THE PIE MODEL) A firm’s WACC is the same no matter what mixture of debt and equity is used to finance the firm.Capital Structure Theory
15. We want to see what happens when we the debt equity ratio in a firm is changed (ignoring taxes).Since WACC = required rate of return on firms assetsWACC =RA . And when we put RE in one side we will have: RE = RA + (RA – RD)(D/E) We know as a fact that the cost of debt is lower than the cost of equity. However, this change is offset by the increase in the cost of equity from borrowing.Capital Structure Theory
16. Proposition II (no tax)RE = RA + (RA – RD)(D/E)The firm’s cost of equity capital is a positive linear function of the firm’s capital structureThe cost of equity depends on three things: WACC or RA, cost of debt, and D/E debt equity ratio. Implications II The cost of equity rises as the firm increases its use of debt financing.The risk of equity depends on two things: A. the riskiness of the firm’s operations(Business risk)and this risk determines RA. B. financial risk and it is determined by D/E.
17. Capital Structure Theory
18. ExampleRequired return on assets = 16%(same as WACC=16%) cost of debt = 10%; debt=45% (tax is ignored)What is the cost of equity? RE = RA + (RA – RD)(D/E) = 0.16 + (0.16-0.10)(45/55) Re = 20.9%Suppose instead that the cost of equity is 22%, what is the debt-to-equity ratio? RE = RA + (RA – RD)(D/E) 0.22= 0.16 + 0.06 (D/E) 0.22 -0.16 = 0.06 (D/E) 0.06 = 0.06 (D/E)D/E = 1Based on this information, what is the percent of equity in the firm? 50%

21. M & M proposition I and II with corporate taxesInterest is tax deductibleTherefore, when a firm adds debt, it reduces taxes, all else equalThe reduction in taxes increases the cash flow of the firmHow should an increase in cash flows affect the value of the firm?
22. M & M proposition I with taxes
23. Debt has two features that we haven’t talked about in M&M Proposition I& II (with tax ignored): 1. interest paid on debt is tax deductible.(good for a firm) 2. failure to meet debt obligations can result in bankruptcy. (not good for a firm).Interest tax shield: the tax saving attained by a firm from interest expenseProposition I with taxes:Value of a levered firm = value of an unlevered firm + PV of interest tax shieldVL = VU + DTC (page 548)Implications of proposition I: 1. Debt financing is highly advantageous. 2. A firm WACC decreases as the firm realize more heavily on debt financing M & M proposition I and II with corporate taxes
24. ExampleEBIT = 25 million; Tax rate = 35%; Debt = $75 million; Cost of debt = 9%; Unlevered cost of capital = 12%Calculate the PV of VU, VL?VU = EBIT * (1- Tc)/ RU= 25,000,000*(1-0.35)/ 0.12 = 135,416,666.7The value of levered firm = VL= VU+ Tc*D = 135,416,666.7 + (0.35*75,000,000)= 161,666,666.7
25. M&M proposition II with taxProposition II with tax:RE = RU+ (RU-RD) (D/E) (1-Tc)RU= unlevered cost of capital or cost of capital of firm with no debt.Implications of proposition II (with tax):cost of equity rises as the firm increases its use of debt financing.The risk of equity depends on two things: A. the riskiness of the firm’s operations(Business risk)and this risk determines RA. B. financial risk and it is determined by D/E.
26. Proposition II with taxes
27. Ex 10 Page 571Wood Crop. Uses no debt. The WACC is 9 percent. If the current market value of the equity is 23$ million and there are no taxes, what is EBIT?With no taxes, the cost of capital of unlevered firm is the cost of equity which can be used as a discount rate for the firm’s value.VU = EBIT/WACC$23,000,000 = EBIT/0.09EBIT= 0.09 ($23,000,000)EBIT= $2,070,000
28. Ex 11 Page 543In the previous question suppose that corporate tax rate is 35 percent. What is EBIT? What is the WACC? Explain?If there are corporate taxes, the value of unlevered firm is:VU= EBIT (1-tc)/ RUEBIT:$23,000,000 = EBIT (1-.35)/0.09EBIT= $3,184,615.38WACC = still the same 9%
29. Ex 14 Page 543Frederick & Co. expects its EBIT to be 92,000$ every year for ever. The firm can borrow at 9 percent. Frederick currently has no debt, and its cost of equity is 15 percent. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the value of the firm? What will the value be if the company borrows 60,000$ and uses the proceeds to repurchase shares?The value of the unlevered firm is: VU = EBIT(1 – tC)/RU VU = $92,000(1 – .35)/.15 VU = $398,666.67The value of the levered firm is: VL = VU + tCD VL = $398,666.67 + .35($60,000) VL = $419,666.67
30. Ex 15 Page 544In problem 14, what is the cost of equity after recapitalization? What is the WACC? What are the implications for the firm’s capital structure decision?We can find the cost of equity using M&M Proposition II with taxes. Doing so, we find: RE = RU + (RU – RD)(D/E)(1 – t) RE = .15 + (.15 – .09)($60,000/$398,667)(1 – .35) RE = .1565 or 15.65%Using this cost of equity, the WACC for the firm after recapitalization is: WACC = (E/V)RE + (D/V)RD(1 – tC) WACC = .1565($398,667/$419,667) + .09(1 – .35)($60,000/$419,667) WACC = .1425 or 14.25%
31. Bankruptcy CostsDirect costsLegal and administrative costsUltimately cause bondholders to incur additional lossesDisincentive to debt financingFinancial distressSignificant problems in meeting debt obligationsFirms that experience financial distress do not necessarily file for bankruptcy
32. Indirect bankruptcy costsIndirect cost are more difficult to measure and estimateStockholders want to avoid a formal bankruptcy filingBondholders want to keep existing assets intact so they can at least receive that moneyAssets lose value as management spends time worrying about avoiding bankruptcy instead of running the businessThe firm may also lose sales, experience interrupted operations and lose valuable employeesBankruptcy Costs
33. Optimal Capital StructureStatic theory of capital structureThis theory says that firms borrow up to the point where the tax benefit from an extra dollar in debt is exactly equal to the cost that comes from the increased probability of financial distress.Illustration to the next figure of the value of the firmFirst line (yellow), represent M&M proposition I with No tax (straight line)Next line (blue), represent M&M proposition I with tax. (Upward slopping straight line) Third line (red), represent the static theory of capital structure or the optimal capital structure(the value of the firm rises to a maximum and then decline beyond that point.At the maximum value of the firm VL* is reached at D* which means the optimal amount of borrowing.The difference between the value of the firm in static theory and M&M value of the firm with tax is the loss in value from the possibility of financial distress
34. Optimal Capital StructureThe static theory of capital structure:
35. Optimal Capital StructureWe know that the capital structure that maximizes the value of the firm is the one that minimize the cost of capital.Next figure represent the WACC line which correspond to the static theory.Decline at first because the after tax cost of debt is cheaper than cost of equity. However, at some point the cost of debt begins to rise, and the fact that debt is cheaper than equity is offset by the financial distress cost.Minimum WACC occurs at D/E*.
36. Optimal Capital Structure and the cost of capital
37.
38. ConclusionsCase I – no taxes or bankruptcy costsNo optimal capital structure The value of the firm and its WACC are not affected by capital structure.Case II – corporate taxes but no bankruptcy costsOptimal capital structure is almost 100% debtEach additional dollar of debt increases the cash flow of the firmWACC decreases as much as the amount of debt goes up.Case III – corporate taxes and bankruptcy costsOptimal capital structure is part debt and part equityOccurs where the benefit from an additional dollar of debt is just offset by the increase in expected bankruptcy costs
39. Managerial recommendationsTaxesThe tax benefit from leverage is important only to firm that are in a tax paying position.Firm with accumulated losses will get little value from the interest tax shield.The higher the tax rate, the greater the incentive to borrow.Financial distressthe greater the volatility in EBIT, the less a firm should borrow. In other words, firms with greater risk of experiencing financial distress, will borrow less than other firms.
