Modigliani-Miller irrelevance theorem:
Assumptions:
1. Perfect financial markets
2. All agents have the same information
3. No bankruptcy costs
4. No taxes
Original propositions:
• MM1: Firm’s total market value independent of capital structure
• MM2: Firm’s cost of equity increases with debt-equity ratio
• Dividend irrelevance: Firm’s total market value independent of dividend policy

, • Investor irrelevance: Individual investors are indifferent to financial policies
MM1:
• Value of firm = Present value of future cash flows
• When a firm issues debt &equity, it splits cash flows into 2 streams
– Safe stream to bondholders
– Risky stream to shareholders
• Capital structure irrelevant for firm value
EBIT
• Vu = VE = rU
VE = VL + B
−Int)
VL = D + E = (Int+(EBIT
ru

∗ rD + D+E

Two types of risk:

Investor indifference
Different investors prefer different consumption streams
Companies should not care about risk preference of investors
,→ Investor’s utility depends on consumption, not financial assets
Manager should not care about risk preference of investors
Just need that investors have the ability to borrow & lend for their own account so they can ‘undo’
any changes in firm’s capital structure
Filmpje 5
MM’s most basic message:
• Value is created only by operating assets
• Financial policy should be a means to support operating policy, not an end in itself
MM helps to avoid first order mistakes
Filmpje 6
Efficiency: Introduction of taxes & subsidies may distort otherwise socially optimal decisions
Financial stability: companies may issue ‘too much’ debt, putting pressure on the banking system
Debt ∗ rD ∗ Tax rate
P V (Tax shield) = = Debt ∗ Tax rate
rD
Firm value = value of all-equity firm + present value of tax shield
Filmpje 7
NID: Notional Interest Deduction: subsidize equity
,→ allows firms to deduct from taxable income a notional charge equal to ’equity ∗ ri ’ based on
historical long-term government bonds
