Additionally, the WACC for the company\u2014assuming no taxes\u2014is not affected by its capital structure.<\/p>\r\n<p>Franco Modigliani and Merton Miller suggested the following assumptions for Proposition I:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li>Investors have similar expectations regarding future cash flows.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Bonds and stocks are traded in a perfect capital market.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Investors can lend and borrow at a risk-free rate.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>There are no agency costs.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Financing and investing decisions are independent of each other.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>Although these assumptions are unrealistic, Modigliani and Miller\u2019s school of thought is that investors can create capital structures they prefer. The capital structure that management chooses does not matter because investors can change it at no cost.<\/p>\r\n<p>Suppose that management has set the capital structure of a company to consist of 50% debt and 50% equity, and the investor prefers the company\u2019s capital structure to be 60% debt and 40% equity. The investor will use borrowed money to finance his\/her share purchase so that the ownership of the company\u2019s assets reflects 60% debt financing. The importance of the Modigliani and Miller theory is that managers cannot use capital structure to change the value of the firm.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Proposition II without Taxes: Higher Financial Leverage Raises the Cost of Equity<\/h3>\r\n<p>Here, Franco Modigliani and Merton Miller remove a few assumptions from proposition Proposition I and state that the cost of equity is a linear function of the company\u2019s debt\/equity ratio.<\/p>\r\n<p>According to this proposition, the cost of equity increases as a company increases its use of debt financing to maintain a constant WACC. The risk of equity is contigent on business risk and financial risk. Business risk determines the cost of capital, while capital structure determines financial risk.<\/p>\r\n<p>The WACC\u2014still ignoring taxes\u2014is given by:<\/p>\r\n<p>$$\\text{r}_{\\text{WACC}}=\\bigg(\\frac{\\text{D}}{\\text{V}}\\bigg)\\text{r}_{\\text{d}}+\\bigg(\\frac{\\text{E}}{\\text{V}}\\bigg)\\text{r}_{\\text{e}}$$<\/p>\r\n<p>Where:<\/p>\r\n<p>\\(\\text{r}_{\\text{wacc}}=\\) The weighted average cost of capital.<\/p>\r\n<p>\\(\\text{r}_{\\text{d}}=\\) Before-tax marginal cost of debt.<\/p>\r\n<p>\\(\\text{r}_{\\text{e}}=\\) Marginal cost of equity.<\/p>\r\n<p>\\(\\text{t}=\\) Marginal tax rate.<\/p>\r\n<p>\\(\\text{D}=\\) Outstanding debt.<\/p>\r\n<p>\\(\\text{E}=\\) Outstanding equity.<\/p>\r\n<p>\\(\\text{V}=\\text{D}+\\text{E}=\\) Value of the company.<\/p>\r\n<p>For a company financed by 100% equity, the \\(\\text{r}_{\\text{wacc}}=\\text{r}_{0}.\\)<\/p>\r\n<p>To get the cost of equity, we rearrange the formula:<\/p>\r\n<p>$$\\text{r}_{\\text{e}}=\\text{r}_{0}+(\\text{r}_{0}-\\text{r}_{\\text{d}})\\bigg(\\frac{\\text{D}}{\\text{E}}\\bigg)$$<\/p>\r\n<h4>Example: MM Proposition II without Taxes<\/h4>\r\n<p>Genghis Investment has an all-equity capital structure.
