ACCA P4考试：Static Trade-Off Theory

来源：高顿网校 2014-12-25

1 Use of Debt Finance

　　The trade-off theory of capital structure refers to the idea that a company chooses how much debt finance to use by balancing the relative costs and benefits of debt.

　　The relevant benefit of debt is the tax shield on interest payments.

　　The relative costs of using debt include:

　　Agency costs—as financial gearing rises, debt contracts include increasingly restrictive covenants (e.g. forcing the firm to stay in low-risk projects or limiting dividend payments). The resulting loss in potential shareholder wealth is referred to as agency costs.

　　Financial distress costs—when stakeholders perceive the level of gearing to be dangerous the firm's cost of operating the business may rise as suppliers refuse credit, staff leave, potential customers lose faith in products sold under warranty or guarantee, etc.

　　Bankruptcy costs—if a firm defaults on its debt it will either incur the costs of going through a capital reconstruction scheme or the costs of being liquidated.

　　2 Comparison With MM and Pecking Order Theory

　　MM only considered the benefit of using debt (and hence concluded that the firm's value would continuously rise with financial gearing). The static trade-off theory also considers the costs and attempts to explain why, in practice, firms use less debt than expected by MM.

　　The pecking order theory does not suggest that there is an optimal debt-to-equity ratio. However, static trade-off theory suggests that there is an optimal point at which the marginal cost of taking on more debt equals the marginal benefit.

　　3 Conclusion

　　The conclusion of static trade-off theory is, therefore, that an optimal capital structure does exist and the related cost of capital and valuation graphs would be similar to that of the traditional view. However, the optimal debt-to-equity ratio suggested by static trade-off theory would not necessarily be exactly the same as that of the traditional view of capital structure.

acca考试怎么搭配科目？: 建议优先选择相关联的科目进行搭配报考，这样可以提高备考效率，减轻备考压力，1、F1-F4：为随时机考科目，难度较低，这里可以自行随意选择考试顺序。2、F5-F9：如果你的工作的和财务会计或者审计有关、或者你比较擅长财务和审计的话，推荐先考F7和F8。你可以选择一起考ACCA考试科目F7和F8或者先考F7（8）再考F8（7），这就要取决你一次想考几门。3、P阶段：选修科目中，建议企业首选AFM！第二部分科目进行选择，如果AA和SBR掌握学生更好，可以通过选择AAA，如果SBL掌握的好，可以自己选择APM。
