Chapter III CONCEPTS AND THEORIES OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND PROFITABILITY: A REVIEW A STUDY ON THE DETERMINANTS OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND PROFITABILITY 67 Trade-off Theory Dynamic Trade-off Theory Bankruptcy Cost Theory Agency Costs Theory Signaling Theory Pecking Order Theory Free Cash Flow As there is no perfect market conditions each aspect will have an effect based on the way the capital is structured. There are two theories behind the way the structure should be controlled, the pecking order theory, which was created by Stewart C. Myers and Nicolas Majluf in 1984[1], and the trade off theory, which was considered to be capital structure have been put forward to find the optimal capital structures for the firms such as trade off theory, pecking order theory and free cash flow theory. One of the dominating theories among them is "trade off theory or target adjustment theory" where the firm maximise its value until the breakeven point of tax advantage associated The Modigliani and Miller approach to capital theory, devised in the 1950s, advocates the capital structure irrelevancy theory. This suggests that the valuation of a firm is irrelevant to the capital structure of a company. Whether a firm is highly leveraged or has a lower debt component has no bearing on its market value. Capital structure theory asks what is the optimal composition between debt and equity. 3 Modigliani and Miller (1958): Irrelevance Theorem A benchmark striking result is that under fairly general conditions, the value of the firm – defined as the sum of value of debt and

The trade-off theory of capital structure is the idea that a company chooses how much debt finance and how much equity finance to use by balancing the costs and benefits. The classical version of the hypothesis goes back to Kraus and Litzenberger [1] who considered a balance between the dead-weight costs of bankruptcy and the tax saving benefits of debt.

Pecking order The theory of capital structure has been dominated by the search for optimal capital This paper puts static trade-off and pecking order theories of capital structure on the Summary of tests of power of target adjustment and pecking order A summary description of the ten sectors is presented in the Appendix.
