Describe net operation theory，traditional theory, MM theory without(with)corporate tax, with bankruptcy and agency costNet Operating Income Approach - A theory of capital structure in which the weighted average cost of capital and the total value of the firm remain constant as financial leverage is changed.Traditional Approach - A theory of capital structure in which there exists an optimal capital structure and where management can increase the total value of the firm through the judicious use of financial leverage.The relationship between financial leverage and the cost of capital is explained by the NOI approach.Provide behavioral justification for a constant ko over the entire range of financial leverage possibilities.Total risk for all security holders of the firm is not altered by the capital structure.Therefore, the total value of the firm is not altered by the firms financing mix.Total market value is not altered by the capital structure (the total size of the pies are the same).M&M assume an absence of taxes and market imperfections.Investors can substitute personal for corporate financial leverage.No TaxesProposition I: Firm value is not affected by leverageVL = VUProposition II: Leverage increases the risk and return to stockholders rs = r0 + (B / SL) (r0 - rB)rB is the interest rate (cost of debt)rs is the return on (levered) equity (cost of equity)r0 is the return on unlevered equity (cost of capital)B is the value of debtSL is the value of levered equitywith Corporate TaxesProposition I (with Corporate Taxes):Firm value increases with leverage VL = VU + TC BProposition II (with Corporate Taxes):Some of the increase in equity risk and return is offset by interest tax shield rS = r0 + (B/S)×(1-TC)×(r0 - rB) rB is the interest rate (cost of debt)rS is the return on equity (cost of equity)r0 is the return on unlevered equity (cost of capital)B is the value of debtS is the value of levered equityAgency Costs - Costs associated with monitoring management to ensure that it behaves in ways consistent with the firms contractual agreements with creditors and shareholders.Value of levered firm= Value of firm if unlevered + Present value of tax-shield benefits of debt-Present value of bankruptcy and agency costsCalculation:1.Annuity;Perpetuity:PV:FVC = Cash flow per periodi = interest raten = number of paymentsC = Cash flow per periodi = interest raten = number of paymentsPV of a perpetuity = P / iIn this formula "P" represents your annual payment and "i" represents your interest or discount rate.PV of a growing perpetuity = P / (i - g)In this formula "P" represents your annual payment, "i" represents your interest or discount rate and "g" represents the growth rate.2.Valuation of bond(half year)and stock3.Investment criterion IRR,NPV,PBP,PINPV:Given the (period, cash flow) pairs (, ) where is the total number of periods, the net present value is given by:IRR:NPV=0,i=IRRGiven the (period, cash flow) pairs (, ) where is the total number of periods, the net present value is given by:PBP:Payback Period = W + (X - Y) / Z W is the year before which the investment value is crossed in cumulative cash flows X is the initial investment or the initial cash outlayY is the cumulative cash flow just before the investment value is crossed in cumulative cash flowsZ is the cash flow of the year in which the investment value is crossed in the cumulative cash flowsPI:PI=(PV of future cash flow )/(Initial investment)=1+NPV/(Initial investment)4.Expanding and Replacement:;EAC:EAC = NPV/A t, r where A= the present value of an t = number of periods r = interest rateA t, r=(1-1/(1+r)t)/r5.WACC,CAPM:WACC:where is the number of sources of capital (securities, types of liabilities); is the required for security ; and is the market value of all outstanding securities .where D is the total debt, E is the total shareholders equity, Ke is the cost of equity, and Kd is the cost of debt.Tax effectsTax effects can be incorporated into this formula. For example, the WACC for a company financed by one type of shares with the total market value of and cost of equity and one type of bonds with the total market value of and cost of debt , in a country with corporate tax rate , is calculated as:CAPM:where: is the expected return on the capital asset is the risk-free rate of interest such as interest arising from government bonds (the ) is the of the expected excess asset returns to the expected excess market returns, or also , is the expected return of the market is sometimes known as the market premium (the difference between the expected market rate of return and the risk-free rate of return). is also known as the risk premiumRestated, in terms of risk premium, we find that:Modified formula:"where: is required return on security i is is general market risk premium is for small size is risk premium due to company-specific risk factor6.

MM without and with corporate tax;arbitrageWithout taxesProposition Iwhere is the value of an unlevered firm = price of buying a firm composed only of equity, and is the value of a levered firm = price of buying a firm that is composed of some mix of debt and equity. Another word for levered is geared, which has the same meaning.Proposition IIwhere is the required rate of return on equity, or . is the company unlevered (ie assume no leverage). is the required rate of return on borrowings, or . is the .With taxesProposition Iwhere is the value of a levered firm. is the value of an unlevered firm. is the tax rate () x the value of debt (D)the term assumes debt is perpetualProposition IIwhere: is the required rate of return on equity, or cost of levered equity = unlevered equity + financing premium. is the company cost of equity capital with no leverage (unlevered cost of equity, or return on assets with D/E = 0). is the required rate of return on borrowings, or . is the debt-to-equity ratio. is the tax rate.专心-专注-专业
