Capital structure
In finance, capital structure is the way a corporation finances its assets through some combination of equity, debt, or hybrid securities.
==Overview==
A firm's capital structure is the composition or 'structure' of its liabilities. For example, a firm that has $20 billion in equity and $80 billion in debt is said to be 20% equity-financed and 80% debt-financed. The firm's ratio of debt to total financing, 80% in this example, is referred to as the firm's leverage.〔Fernandes, N.. Finance for Executives: A Practical Guide for Managers. 2014; chapter 5.〕 In reality, capital structure may be highly complex and include dozens of sources of capital.
Leverage (or gearing) ratios represent the proportion of the firm's capital that is obtained through debt (either bank loans or bonds).
The Modigliani-Miller theorem, proposed by Franco Modigliani and Merton Miller, forms the basis for modern thinking on capital structure, though it is generally viewed as a purely theoretical result since it disregards many important factors in the capital structure process factors like fluctuations and uncertain situations that may occur in the course of financing a firm. The theorem states that, in a perfect market, how a firm is financed is irrelevant to its value. This result provides the base with which to examine real world reasons why capital structure ''is'' relevant, that is, a company's value is affected by the capital structure it employs. Some other reasons include bankruptcy costs, agency costs, taxes, and information asymmetry. This analysis can then be extended to look at whether there is in fact an optimal capital structure: the one which maximizes the value of the firm.
