MM Proposition II without taxes differs from MM Proposition I without taxes since it concludes that:
选项:
A.
WACC is unaffected by capital structure.
B.
the value of the levered firm is equal to that of the unlevered firm.
C.
higher leverage raises the cost of equity, which exactly offsets the lower cost of debt.
解释:
C is correct.
MM Proposition II without taxes differs from MM Proposition I without taxes in that the cost of equity will rise with leverage and completely offset the lower cost of debt. Debt has a lower cost relative to equity because debtholders have a priority claim on the cash flow of the firm. So, one would expect WACC to decline with more debt. MM Proposition II without taxes argues that the cost of equity is a linear function of the debt-to-equity ratio. The addition of more low-cost debt to the capital structure will increase the debt-to-equity ratio and raise the cost of equity, offsetting the lower debt cost. As a result, the firm’s WACC is unchanged.
我认为无税条件下 MM II说的是增加了融资杠杆 增加了equity成本 那不就说明资本结构改变了吗,所以MM I和MM II不一样的原因是MM I里 MV不受capital structure影响
