D0/P0 Same as DVM but no growth in dividend for preference share.
25
What is the traditional view of gearing theories?
- Debt is cheaper as debtholders take less risk so as levels of debt increase, gearing increases and therefore WACC falls. - However at high levels of debt, this creates more risk for shareholders, therefore they will require a higher rate of return, increasing cost of equity, increasing WACC - The optimal point of gearing is where new debt doesn't increase the cost of equity.
26
What are the gearing theories from M&M 1958 and M&M 1963
M&M 1958 - At high levels of gearing, there is a bankruptcy risk which increases the cost of equity at the same rate. - Overall nil affect on the cost of capital M&M 1963 - Tax relief on interest payments as they are deductible in arriving at total taxable profits - Therefore increased gearing = more tax relief which is better - Best if 100% geared
