Introduction
This chapter focuses on tools of analysis that can assist managers in making capital structure decisions that will lead to a maximization of shareholder wealth.
It develops techniques, derived from accounting data, for measuring operating and financial leverage.

Operating and Financial Leverage From fixed operating or fixed capital costs Operating costs
Costs of sales General & administrative costs
Capital costs Interest charges Preferred dividends Income taxes

Operating and Financial Leverage Operating
Leverage Results from fixed
operating costs such that a change in sales revenue is magnified into a relatively large change in EBIT
Financial Leverage Results from fixed
capital costs such that a change in EBIT is magnified into a relatively large change in EPS

DOL
Measured as a percent change in EBIT resulting from a given percent change in sales
Original values
Sales – VC – FC = EBIT
DOL at X = Sales – Variable CostsEBIT

DFL Measured as the percent change in EPS
resulting from a given percent change in EBIT

DCL
Measured as a percent change in EPS resulting from a given percent change in sales
See DCL model
DCL at X = DOL DFL
DCL at X = Sales – Variable Costs
EBIT – I – Dp/(1 – T)

DOL & DFL Trade Off
A firm can trade off operating and financial leverage to control DCL.
A firm with a high DOL may choose a capital structure with a low DFL to avoid a high DCL.

How Can You Find the Probability of EPS?
Loss level of EBIT is the amount of EBIT needed to cover interest charged and preferred dividends
The Z value can be looked up in Table V (Normal Distribution)
Probability of negative EPS
Loss level EBIT – Expected EBITStandard deviation of EBIT
Z =

EBIT-EPS Analysis
Technique for comparing alternative capital structures
Determine the level of EBIT where EPS would be identical under either debt or equity financing:
Debt financing Equity financing

(EBIT – Ie) (1 – T) – Dp
Nd
(EBIT – Id) (1 - T) – Dp

Analyze the Riskiness of the Capital Structure Compute the expected level of EBIT after
expansion. Estimate the variability of operating
income. Compute the indifference point between
two financing plans. Estimate the probability that EBIT will
exceed the indifference point.

Cash Insolvency Analysis
Helps managers choose their capital structure during a recession when liquidity is important
CBR = CB0 + FCFR
The firm needs cash (or access to cash) to survive a recession
