Assess the implications of the evidence for the trade-off, pecking order and free cash flow theories. Explain how financing can be viewed as a marketing problem. Outline the main factors that financial managers should consider when determining a company’s financing strategy. 2 2 2 2 2 2 Introduction MM analysis is useful in showing that if capital structure is important, the reasons must relate to factors that MM excluded by their assumptions. Four main theories of capital structure: MM leverage irrelevance — company value depends on investment rather than financing decisions. Trade-off theory — emphasises tax benefits of debt. Pecking order theory — information on projects is asymmetric and internal finance is highest in pecking order. Free cash flow theory — emphasises agency costs with the discipline of debt reducing unprofitable investment. 4
