The Effect Of Capital Structure On The Cost Of Capital: A Test And Evaluation Of The Modigliani And Miller Propositions (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258282752)

The book ""The Effect of Capital Structure on the Cost of Capital: A Test and Evaluation of the Modigliani and Miller Propositions"" by Alexander Barges is a detailed analysis of the relationship between a company's capital structure and its cost of capital. The author examines the famous Modigliani and Miller propositions, which suggest that in a perfect market, the capital structure of a firm does not have any impact on its overall value.Barges tests these propositions by analyzing data from real companies and evaluating the impact of changes in capital structure on their cost of capital. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the theories and models that underpin the relationship between capital structure and cost of capital, and examines the practical implications of these concepts for businesses.The author also explores the role of financial leverage, the impact of taxes on capital structure decisions, and the effect of market imperfections on the validity of the Modigliani and Miller propositions. The book provides valuable insights for investors, financial analysts, and corporate finance professionals, and is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between capital structure and cost of capital.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
