Talk:Trade-off theory of capital structure

Incorrect graph
The graph on this page is incorrect. The top red line (the value of the firm excluding PV of costs of distress) should be asymptotic to a horizontal line that represents the maximum theoretical value of the firm at 99.99999% debt financing. The graph on this page shows this line incorrectly dipping down as D/E approaches 100%. Apauza 03:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Earlier References
There is an earlier paper than those cited that discusses the effects of taxes, bankruptcy and agency issues of Modigliani and Miller's theory of optimal capital structure. This paper describes the basic idea behind the trade-off theory.

Trade-Off Theory of Capital Structure → Trade-off theory of capital structure –

Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. WP does not normally cap theories, theorems, models, laws, etc. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles. Tony  (talk)  11:42, 29 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Names of theories are usually lowercased. Also lowercased in google books search . --Enric Naval (talk) 22:48, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
