This document examines the determinants of capital structure for companies in the food and beverage industry on the Lima Stock Exchange from 2012-2015. An analysis was conducted using financial data from 18 Peruvian companies, looking at factors like cost of debt, tax rates, liquidity, dividend rates, company size, and their influence on leverage ratios. Ordinary least squares models were used to analyze the relationships between capital structure and its determinants.
This research investigates the determinants of the capital structure of firms listed service sector on BIST(Borsa Istanbul) and the adjustment process towards this target. The econometric analysis employs the Generalized Method of Moments estimators (GMM-Sys, GMM difference) techniques that controls for unobserved firm-specific effects and the endogeneity problem. The findings of the paper suggest that firms have target leverage ratios and they adjust to them relatively fast. Consistent with the predictions of capital structure theories and the findings of the empirical literature, the results of this paper suggest that size, assets tangibility, profitability, growth opportunity except earnings volatility have significant effects on the capital structure choice of hotels and restaurants.The capital structure or leverage is measured by total debt ratio. Analysis results indicates that firms with high profits, sizable, high fixed assets ratio and high total sales and more growth opportunities tend to have relatively less debt in their capital structures.
This paper scrutinizes Determinants of Capital Structure: A study on some selected corporate firms in Bangladesh. We have taken 10 out of 37 listed companies of DSE dividing into two sectors i.e. Pharmaceuticals and chemicals and Tannery sector, five years data from 2013 to 2017 has been collected from respective annual reports. Total number of observations was 50. There are different factors that affect a firm's capital structure decision. We use leverage (D/E ratio) as dependent variable and independent variables are profitability, tangibility, tax, size, growth, non-debt tax shield (NDTS) and financial costs. By using Descriptive Statistical Analysis, Correlation Analysis and Regression Analysis tools we find that Tangibility, size, NDTS, and financial costs are positively related with leverage and Profitability, tax, and growth are negatively related with leverage. In our analysis we see profitability, tangibility of asset, growth and non-debt tax shield have significant association. So when we take capital structure decision of the above firms we should consider profitability, tangibility of asset, growth and non-debt tax shield because other independent variables are insignificant in the context of Bangladesh economy.
Korean economy undergoes pre-modernized corporate governance. Financial-market imperfections assumed to be incorporated in equity ratio affect the sensitivity of internal funds to physical investment. Empirical analyses show that the effects of asymmetric information are significant. Theories predict that internal finance is less costly than borrowing or issuing equity. Higher cash flow from higher profits affects investment ratio. But, this marginal effect is decreased by equity ratio. If we assume that more imperfect financial market requires more equity than borrowing, we can see that agency costs change the way economic variables like cash flow affect physical investment. Cash flow plays two opposite roles for implementing investment. In the case of financial-imperfections, we can expect that firms with higher profits invest more. But, according to free cash flow hypothesis by Jensen (1986), managers with only a small ownership interest have an incentive for wasteful management. We can expect to see more wasteful activity in a firm with large cash flows. Our regression result shows that the former dominates the latter, so we get positive coefficient for cash flow variable on the physical investment.

Why Emerging Managers Now? - Infusion Global Partners WhitepaperAndrei Filippov
Traditional asset classes appear to offer uninspiring beta returns at present, and recent years’ hedge fund returns have disappointed both in magnitude and diversification benefits, likely reflecting capacity pressures associated with the concentration of AUM and inflows with larger funds. We argue that, by contrast, Emerging hedge funds offer a rich opportunity set with far fewer capacity issues where skilled managers with concrete competitive advantages in less efficient, smaller capitalization market segments can generate better, more sustainable and less correlated excess returns. Emerging managers do involve more investment and operational risk than larger peers; to that challenge we offer some suggestions on a thoughtful and rigorous approach to constructing an Emerging Managers allocation and balancing effective due diligence with scalability.

WE BELIEVE that our Eighth Core Portfolio investment strategy provides the answers to the previously mentioned issues and offers a truly balanced approach to investing.
Equities, bonds, real estate and commodities are four asset classes that cover the core of any asset allocation process. The Eighth Core Portfolio is based on the idea that, during any given stage of a global investment cycle, money will flow across these assets, thereby affecting their performance. Rather than time the entry into the outperformer and the exit from the underperformer the Eighth Core Portfolio invests globally across all four in equal measure thereby ensuring that it participates in the best asset class in any environment. Over the investment period a constant exposure is maintained in order to avoid any outperforming asset class becoming a drag when the market turns.
This balanced approach is designed to produce medium to long term returns which exceed those of nominal cash returns. Historical evidence shows that this strategy has had proven outperformance in various timeframes and in all environments (see Tables 1 to 3) More importantly it minimizes volatility by taking advantage of the low correlations between the individual asset classes (see Table 4).
SME development, constraints, credit risk & islamic banking solutionsMace Abdullah
This analytic paper examines the status of small and medium sized enterprises (SME) worldwide, provides theoretical information and explores issues regarding their development, constraints and credit risk. SME have been heralded worldwide as being the economic “engine” of economic development. Certainly, from an Islamic finance perspective, the development of SME represents a propitious opportunity, a vital step towards an epistemological response to criticism of Islamic finance and should play an indispensible role in forging a more robust Islamic capital market. Yet, SME face persistent identifiable obstacles to growth and development. This paper focuses on SME development, particularly as it relates to the so-called “credit gap” and the concomitant credit risk. The SME “credit gap” is pervasive worldwide; particularly so in emerging economies. Accordingly, this paper analyzes: the determinants and drivers of SME development; constraints on SME development; the SME “credit gap” and concomitant credit risk; and the role Islamic banking can play in meeting the challenge of SME development.

Corporate debt policy remained a significant, but a challenging decision for managers entrusted with the responsibility to improve the value of the firm. Thus, this study examines the factors influencing the capital structure decisions of firms in Nigeria. The study employs a panel data regression model to analyze data from firms in Nigeria for the period 2011 to 2015. The result of the empirical analysis reveals that firms in Nigeria have a preference to finance economic operations from retained earnings and the use of short-term debt on rollover basis. The finding of this study confirms that debt decreases with profitability and growth opportunities. The findings show that asset tangibility and firm size have a positive and significant relationship with debt policy of firms in Nigeria. The analysis also reveals that managerial ownership has a negative and significant relationship with debt ratio of firms in Nigeria. The study shows a non-significant positive relationship between non-debt tax shields and debt. The study demonstrates that the trade-off and pecking order theories both explains the factors influencing capital structure decisions of firms in Nigeria. Therefore, this study suggests the need for stakeholders to develop the financial markets and make it accessible for firms to obtain long-term financing for economic growth and development.
Creative Accounting and Impact on Management Decision MakingWaqas Tariq
The study was conducted to appraise the impact of creative accounting on management decisions of selected companies listed in the Nigerian Stock Exchange. With the background, the main objective of the study includes the examination of the extent to which macro-manipulation of financial statement affects management decisions; to examine the extent to which macro-manipulation of financial statement affects share price performance; and to determine the impact of misreported assets and liabilities as well as making recommendations to help remedy some of the problems. The research method used was descriptive and the primary data collected were summarized and tabulated. These were picked in line with the hypothesis variables of the study so as to determine their validity. It was observed that the application of creativity in financial statement reporting significantly affects the decision of management to recapitalize the firm upward or dispose of it reserves. The study concluded that creative accounting through macro-manipulation of financial statements affects a firm’s price and capital market performance. In view of the study, the researcher recommended that the application of creative accounting on management decision should be to avoid misreporting of assets and liabilities in their financial report, and that management decision towards creative accounting should be geared towards the relative advantage principle and good corporate governance which encourage challenges to current ways of thinking and not manipulating for self interest.

Abstract (summary)
Captive finance companies seem to be in the news more than either banks or independent financeorganizations - and the news has been dramatically negative. Some of the traditional views of captives are highly relevant; however, often they are benchmarked against the wrong index. Comparing common leverage or profitability ratios between a captive and its parent provides negative results in good economic times as well as bad! For instance, average return on assets for a sample of 10 organizations that own captives in a down year - 2008 - was 8.7%. The same measure for finance companies over the past five years has been 1.2%. It is imperative for organizations to work with their parents to develop a common understanding and measurement of the broader strategic value of the captive and to promote that understanding to the larger community of stakeholders. This enhanced system of measures, aligned with the captive's true objectives, is less about performance during any given economic cycle and more about strategic value.

In the best of times, strengths and weaknesses of a business model are often overlooked. In the worst of times, as with the recent global recession, weaknesses often come to the forefront. For captive finance companies ("captives") this is the case. Even business models once proven to be effective are being questioned and modified. The changing market landscape is demonstrating a great degree of disparity in the value captives are delivering to their parent organizations.
Historically, parents have measured captive value in ways that promote a stand-alone business division view. Although some of these traditional views of captives are highly relevant, they are often benchmarked against irrelevant indexes. Parents need to pay attention to some key metrics affecting the overall organization; alternative approaches for evaluating success may be appropriate, given the evolution of captives. One of the key aspects of the study Capgemini did for the Foundation is measures of success. This article focuses on traditional measures of success and the relevance of those measures for captives.

Introduction
Marks & Spencer PLC was founded in 1884.It has grown from a single market stall to an
international multi-channel retailer. They sell stylish, high quality value clothing and home
products as well as food, responsibly sourced from around 3,000 suppliers globally. Their
portfolio covers general merchandise, food, international and multi-channel across 54
international territories with nearly 86,000 employees.(Marks and Spencer, 2014).
International business environment Analysis Techniques
Business environment is the combination of internal and external factors that influence a
company‟s operating situation and the overall business. It is both Micro and Macro in nature.
Micro or internal factors are controllable and could include management style, organizational
culture, mission and value statement. Whereas Macro or external factors are uncontrollable these

factors are often both dynamic & complex. Business environment factors can include new
policies, procedures, government changes, improvements in technology, social and economic
trends(Nonaka, I., and Takeuchi, H, 1995).The reason for analyzing the business environment is
to highlight opportunities and threats. Knowing the opportunities and threats to the business
allows the company to set a strong business strategy and understand better where to invest,
expand, diversify and downscale. There are a number of different tools we can use to analyse
both the Micro & Marco factors within a business.
Micro can be analysed with Porters 5 forces model.Porter identified that there are 5 key
forces that influence business that needed to be analysed in order to develop a competitive
advantage (Porter, 1985). These forces are supplier power, buyer power, competitive rivalry,
threat of substitution &threat of new entryand are used for strategic industry analysis. The
positives of using this technique to analyze is that it looks at a wider range of competitors and it
forces the business to look externally. However this is a relatively old model that may not be

A Comparative Analysis of Capital Structure between Banking and Non-Banking F...iosrjce
This research aims to compare the capital structure of Bangladeshi banking and non-banking
financial institutions through some measurements. The annual financial statements of 10 commercial banks and
10 non-bank financial institutions were used for this study which covers a period of five (5) years from 2009-
2013. The study assesses the capital structure of the banking and non-banking sectors measured by total debt
to equity ratio (DER), total debt to total funds ratio and performance by ROE, ROA, EPS.Descriptive statistics,
t-test have been used to show the differences between banking and non-banking capital structure and
performance. However this study concludes that there is no significant difference between Bank and non-bank’s
EPS but there is a significant difference between Bank and non-bank’s D/A ratio and D/E ratio and ROA and
ROE.
Bankruptcy Prediction is an art of predicting bankruptcy and various measures of financial
distress of public or private firms. In recent past days we are seeing many cases with distress
and bankrupted. It is a huge area of finance and accounting research. The importance of the
world is due partially to the relevance for creditors and investors in evaluating the likelihood
that a firm may go bankrupt. The quantity of research is additionally a function of the supply of
data: for public firms which went bankrupt or not, numerous accounting ratios which
may indicate danger can be calculated, and various other potential explanatory variables also
are available. Consequently, the world is well-suited for testing of increasingly sophisticated,
data-intensive forecasting approaches.
Despite continued uncertain economic conditions, most companies remain persuaded that there is a strong causal link between their financial performance over a 5-10 year time horizon and their current commitment to improving their environmental, social and governance performance.
Against this background, a number of business leaders are reviewing their approach to sustainability, weighing new corporate strategies and new business models in efforts to ensure their long-term sustainability.
Financial distress research of companies has attracted a growing attention in the recent past. This phenomenon of financial distress in public companies has been witnessed by a number of corporate failures and the increase in delisting of listed companies. This study therefore attempts determine the effectiveness of market ratios on financial distress of listed firms in Nairobi Security Exchange Market, Kenya. Liability management theory, was reviewed which provides a foundation for both liquidity ratio and financial distress. The study used a panel study is an observational study. The target population will be 62 listed companies in Nairobi Security Exchange Market as indicated in from year 2011-2015. The entire population will be used in this study. The study will use document analysis by getting panel data from listed companies in Nairobi Security Exchange Market. Panel data is a good indicator or measure of financial distress. Descriptive and inferential statistics method will be used for data analysis and interpretation. Data was presented using tables and diagrams. Hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance (95% confidence level) from OLS pooled regression (fixed and random effect) which shows the relationship between the independent variable and dependent variable. The findings show that market ratio has a positive and significant effect on financial distress, (β = 0.593; p< 0.05). This study is significantly important in that it will enhance efficient management and financing of working capital can increase the operating profitability ratio.

ABSTRACT
In this document we identify the determinants of the firm's capital structure in the food and
beverage industry of the Lima Stock Exchange, for the years 2012 to 2015. The investigation was
conducted considering the analysis of a cross-section database, consisted of 18 Peruvian
companies Listed on the index of food and beverages. We analyze the cost of debt, the marginal
tax rate, the liquidity measured by the cash flow to the value of the firm ratio, the lifetime of
companies, the annual dividend rate and the size of the company measured by annual net sales,
using ratios That help analyze terms of increasing or reducing funding. Models based on ordinary
least squares in terms of elasticities were used.

2. I.INTRODUCTION
The present study is a descriptive-causal cross-sectional series research, located within the
research line of Business Management, which develops a study on the determinants of the
financial structure of firms; Based on the application of a theoretical framework of scientific
knowledge to a concrete reality, as is the case of companies in the food and beverage sector of
the Stock Exchange of Lima.
In Peru,the Peruvian industry or manufacturing industry accounts for about 15% of Peru's gross
domestic product (GDP),which in dollars amounts to 8,586 million dollars for 2002. The sector
has grown at an annual rate of 3% since The year 1992, a slow but positive growth. The Peruvian
market is characterized by small companies, all of which are not publicly traded, so that
companies in the food and beverage sector are few, the most representative being the Alicorp
Group, the Gloria Group (with operations in Bolivia, Central America and other countries), the
Embotelladora Latinoamericana group is now part of the Brazilian Ambev Group, Lindley Coca
Cola partner company, the Kraft Foods Group, the Sipesa Group, one of the largest exporters of
processed fish food in the country And the smaller ones are Maize Derivatives and Sea Products.
But at the same time, the companies in this area are being much more competitive because all of
them maintain investment decisions as well as financing decisions, which contribute to the
increase of the companies' performance Who seek to lead in the market; So in our research we
will identify the companies belonging to the food and beverages sector, so that the managers of
this item have a culture that allows them to appreciate the impact of their decisions from the
economic and financial point of view; Taking into account a betteruse of resourcesand achieving
better results with less costs, which can be achieved with an effective capital optimization
structure.
The question that guides the research is: What are the determinants that influence the capital
structure of companies in the food and beverage industry of the Lima Stock Exchange for the
years 2012 to 2015?
The work is organized in the following way: in section I is the introduction, background,
theoretical bases, the objective of our investigation and finally the hypothesis, in section II the
3. methods usedin the project are detailed in section III is interpreted the results obtained, and finally
in section IV the conclusions are presented.
In relation to this investigation the following international antecedents were found:
As a starting point it is considered l n Myers assertion or when
quoted Goyal (2004) - Do notíis a universaltheoryof capitalstructure,nora reason orn
to wait there - It is interpreted as ay h í conditional theory as they are useful. Each factor
can be dominant for some firms or in some circumstances even as í, unimportant in
another context.
The assessment or n of the theory í as the capital structure directly leads
to the plane emp rich í, particularly the conduction or n
test QUEUEANDSTATISTICSMANsticas and econom é metric that can validate or
reject predictions that eachtheory ay Suggests with respectto the factorsor variables that
explain the level of this structure. As for an nalysis of these evaluations is to I prefaced
with the precision or the notion n or n or optimal structure of capital.
Myers (1984) plant or the question of the existence of different debt ratios in
cross - sectional evidence is because firms have different coefficients or ptimos or
because temporarily diverged from those observed. In this context the literature, from the
perspective of a structure or optimal capital, how to estimate the structure and the
importance of adjustment costs that can generate discrepancies or deviations mentioned
above is analyzed falls. Together these approaches din to monkeys there
alsoAppen volume u n greater than studies that address the issue in the form is to tica,
by evidence of the predictions of the theory í to the structure or ptima from coefficients
observed indebtedness.
Titman (2005) found evidence indicating that firms have a target capital
structure, determined by considerations of cost and benefit of the debt, but whose
coefficients observed var debt í an according to the degree of flexibility following this
objective . These authors mention that the market imperfections, asymmetries í ace of
4. information or ny costs of transaction or n take it the story of signatures in t é terms of
variations in cash flows, investment expenditure or ny capital costs stock, which is the
main determinant of the structure or capital ptima observed at a given time. For
an analysis to emp rich í the authors address the construction or n the level of proxies
target company debt.
Barbosa (2011) ays that among the various factors related to indebtedness four
factors to be analyzed í emp is richly by the model of capital structure, which
are:Profitability, T loves ñ or the company nor, T angibilidad and R isk are selected and
analyzed four factors. The level of debt (leverage), which is the dependent variable of the
model is analyzed in two ways: TD (total debt / total assets) and TL (Total liabilities /
total assets). The works have studied in various ountries pa over time the effects of these
variables with n relationship or the level of indebtedness. The results indicate that
profitability variable, s u n t to most of the studies and the
theory ay peckingorder, presents a negative relationship or n with debt. The variable
size ñ or the company nor, sec u n t to most studies and í a tradeoff theory presents

The determinants ofthe choice ofcapital structure
In this section, we present a brief discussion of the attributes that different theories of the capital
structure suggest may affect the choice of debt by stock of the company. These attributes are the
structure of assets denoted, fiscal shields do not generate debt, growth, uniqueness, industry
classification, size, earnings volatility, and profitability. The attributes, their relation to the
optimal capital structure choice and their observable indicators are discussed below.
A. RRANTY value as assets
Most capital structure theories argue that the type of assets owned by a company in some way
affects its capital structure choice. It suggests that, by selling secured debt, companies increase
the value of their equity by expropriating the wealth of their existing unsecured creditors.
The arguments put forward by Myers (1984), suggest that companies can find advantages to sell
secured debt. Their model shows that there may be costs associated with issuing securities on
which company executives have better information than overseas shareholders. Issuance of debt
securedby assetswith known securities avoids these costs. For this reason,companies with assets
that can be used as collateral can be expected to issue more debt to take advantage of this
opportunity. It also suggests that the shareholders of leveraged companies have an incentive to
invest their optimum to expropriate the wealth of the bondholders of the firm. This can incentive
also induce a positive relationship between debt ratios and the ability of companies to back up
8. their debt. If the debt can be secured, the borrower is restricted from using the funds for a
particular project. Since such collateral can be used for projects that can not be counted on
collateral, creditors may demand more favorable terms, which in turn may cause these companies
to use equity rather than debt financing.
B. Debt as fiscal shield.
Masulis (1980) present an optimal capital structure model that incorporates the impact of
corporate taxes, personal taxes,and non-debt related corporate tax savings. They argue that tax
deductions for depreciation and investment tax credits are substitutes for the tax benefits of debt
financing. As a result, companies with large taxes do not protect the debt in relation to their
expected cash flow include less debt in their capital structures.
C. Agency costs
As mentioned earlier, controlled capital firms have a tendency to invest their optimum to
expropriate the wealth of the bondholders of the firm. The cost associated with this agency
relationship is likely to be greaterfor growing business industries, which have greaterflexibility
in choosing future investments. The expected future growth should therefore be negatively
related to long-term debt levels. Brealy and Myers (1993) point out that this agency problem is
mitigated if firm short-term problems rather than long-term debt. This suggests that short-term
debt ratios could actually be a positive relationship with growth rates if growing companies
substitute short-term financing for long-term financing.
D. Singularity
Titman (2005) presents a model in which the decision to liquidate a company is causally linked
to its bankruptcy. As a result, the costs that companies can potentially impose on their
customers, suppliers and workers through settlement is relevant to their capital structure
decisions. Clients, workers and suppliers of single-product or specialized products are likely to
suffer relatively high costs in the event of liquidation. Your workers and suppliers probably
9. have specific skills and capital objectives, and your customers may have difficulty finding
alternative service for their relatively unique products. For these reasons,it is expected that the
uniqueness of being a negative relationship with debt ratios.
E. Or n Industrial Classification
Titman (2005) also suggests that companies that manufacture products that require the
availability maintenance and specialized liquidation spares will find it especially costly.This
indicates that machinery and manufacturing equipment companies will be financed with
relatively less debt. To measure this, we include a dummy variable equal to one for companies
with SIC codes between 3400 and 4000 (the companies producing machines and equipment)
and zero in another case that affects an independent attribute debt ratios.
F. The profitability
Brealy and Myers (1993) suggests that firms prefer capital increase, first to cumulative results,
second to debt, and third of the issuance of new shares. He suggests that this behavior may be
due to the costs of issuing new shares. These may be the costs discussed in which they arise due
to asymmetric information, or they may be transaction costs.In any case,the past profitability
of a company, and therefore the amount of disposable income to be withheld, must be an
important determinant of its current capital structure.We use the proportions of operating
income over sales (OI / S) and operating income over total assets (OIITA) as indicators of
profitability (SHERIDAN & WESSELS, 1988)
Modern literature on capital structure began in 1958 with Franco Modigliani and Merton Miller
(M & M) and their strong assumptions about the perfect market. After M & M, other important
theories emerge, such as tradeoff and pecking order. (Rangel Barbosa, 2011).
Optimal Capital Structure
Every realinvestment opportunity is accompanied by financing decisions; These in turn
determine the composition of capital between debt and equity.
10. Two modern theoretical approaches attempt to explain this composition of capital, and hence to
the financial structure: on the one hand, the theory of the equilibrium of the capital structure or
the theory of static (trade-off theory) which considers the capital structure Of the company as the
result of the balance between the benefits and costs derived from the debt, keeping constant the
assets and the investment plans. On the other hand, the Theory of the Financial Hierarchy
(Pecking Order Theory) exposes the company's preference for internal and external financing,
and debt to equity using stock issuance (Myers, 1984)
Theorem of Modigliani and Miller.
These authors were the first to develop a theoretical analysis of the financial structure of
companies whose central objective is to study their effects on the value of the same.
The traditional theory proposes that the optimal financial structure will be one that
maximizes the market value of the company and minimizes the cost of capital.
This structure of not being appropriate can represent a restriction to the decisions of investment
and therefore, to the growth of the company.
Income, variable costs,fixed costs,depreciation, financial interests, taxes, debt costs,capital costs
are used. All these interrelated variables allow us to define the financial profitability of the
organization.
M & M explain that the value of the company will only depend on the income generating capacity
of its assets regardless of where the financial resources that have financed them have come
from; That is, both the total market value of a company and its cost of capital are independent of
its financial structure, therefore, the company's borrowing policy has no effect on shareholders
(Brealy & Myers, 1993)
M & M say the expected return of the common shares of a company grows
equally indebted to its level of indebtedness; that is, the likely returns that shareholders
expect from the shares of a company that belongs to a particular
class, or linear function of n or n raz debt (Brealy & Myers, 1993)
M & M found that the rate of return of an investment project or n must be
completely independent of how the company is financed, and must at least be equal to
11. the rate ofcapitalization or n the marketapplies to companies without leverage and Which
belongs to the same kind of risk as the investment company; ie the rate of return required
in the assessment or investment n is independent of the way in which each company
is funded é (Fern ndez to 2003).
Static Balance Theory (TRADE-OFF)
When facedwith a problem, there is usually a conflict betweenobjectives or qualities versus costs
or defects; That is why in a decision-making process it is necessary to have a holistic view of the
fact, in order to consider all the elements that involve the decision (Soto Ibáñez)
This theory suggests that the optimal financial structure of firms is determined by the interaction
of competitive forces that press on financing decisions. These forces are the tax advantages of
debt financing and bankruptcy costs.
On the one hand, since interest paid on debt is generally deductible from the tax base of corporate
income tax, the optimal solution would be to contract the maximum possible debt. However, on
the other hand, the more the company is in debt, the more likely it is to face financial problems,
the most serious of which is bankruptcy.
It is important to mention that the theory of the trade-off does not have a specific author, since
this theory groups to all those theories or models that sustain that there is a mixture of optimal
debt-capital, that maximizes the value of the company, that occurs Once the benefits and costs of
debt are balanced.
The theory of the trade-off can not explain why companies with high financial returns within the
same sector choose to finance themselves and do not use their debt capacity, or why in countries
where taxes have been reduced or Tax rate for debt companies opt for high
indebtedness. Therefore, there is not yet a model that can determine the optimum indebtedness
for the company and thus improve the financial profitability from the perspective of the financial
structure.
The Theory of Financial Hierarchy (PECKING ORDER THEORY)
The theory of hierarchical capital structure is among the most influential when it comes to
explaining the financing decision regarding corporate leverage. This theory rests on the existence
12. of asymmetric information (with respect to investment opportunities and assets currently held)
between firms and capital markets. That is, the directors of the organization often have better
information about the state of the company than the external investors.
The Pecking Order financing theory states that there is an order of choice for funding
sources. What determines the financial structure of the companies is the intention to finance new
investments, first internally with own funds, then with low exposure debt such as banking, then
with public debt in the case thatofferslower its valuation than Actions and lastly with newactions.
To summarize the operation of Theory of the Financial Hierarchy, Myers (1984), formulates four
statements that support it:
The pre ferred the financing companies or internal n.
The estimated rate of dividend distribution adapts to investment
opportunities or n.
Although the pol í tica dividend is fixed, fluctuations in profitability and
investment opportunities or n are unpredictable, which the cash flows generated
internally can be higher or lower capital expenditures.
If you require external financing or n, the company issues first titles
m t t s insurance.
Our main objective is Identify the determinants of capital structure of companies in the food and
beverage industry of the Lima Stock Exchange for the years 2012 to 2015.
II.M É ALL
It has been decided to use the design type of our research is non-experimental, to identify
correlations and determinants since it is done without deliberately manipulating variables and it
is about observing phenomena as they occur in their natural context, and then analyze them. The
database used is a cross-sectional series that collects financial information from 18 companies
listed on the Lima Stock Exchange.
13. It was used as a unit of study to active Peruvian companies, where our population is only based
on the Peruvian business sector, arriving at a sample of 18 active Peruvian companies, whose
balance sheets are in the Super Intendance of Market and Securities, since 2012, By 2015.

The independent variable is the capital structure of 18 Peruvian companies that are listed in the
Food and Beverage index of the Lima Stock Exchange. The dependent variable is the debt ratio
of the firm, with respect to which the degree of determination of a set of financial variables is
identified:

To collect data we obtain basic information of Peruvian companies through public pages as the
Lima Stock Exchange, the Superintendency of Securities Market. We use a table in the Excel
program to systematize and organize data, relevant statistical processes following models based
on ordinary least squares based on elasticities between variables.
We use the following equations, with which we can test our hypothesis:
RE = f (C, LIQCORR, TAD, TVIEM ^ 2, INA) (1)
In which, RE, debt ratio is based on C, which becomes the elasticity of debt heritage LIQCORR,
which is the current liquidity, TAD, annual dividend rate, TVIEM ^ 2, lifetime businesses, and
INA, adjusted net investment.
Ln (RE) = α + β. Ln (C) + Ln (LIQCORR) + Ln (TAD) + Ln (TVIEM ^ 2) + Ln
(INA) (2)
III.RESULTS
At the individual level the relationship between different variables is as follows:
The elasticity of the capital structure compared to current liquidity ratio is -0.38,
still significant this relationship or n to 1%,with a degree of determination or n of 11.0%
(Table 3)
The elasticity of the capital structure from the annual dividend rate is 0.55, with
significant this relationship or n to 1%, with a degree of determination or n 23.3%
(Table 4.)
15. The elasticity of the capital structure regarding the lifetime of the company is
0.25, not being significant (Table 5)
The elasticity of the capital structure with respecttothe investment or net adjusted
n is 0.29, with significant this relationship or n to 1%, with a degree of determination orn
15.9% (Table 6)
The elasticity of the capital structure regarding the cost of debt is -0.15, although
the sign is correct, this variable is not significant (Table 7)
The elasticity of the capital structure regarding the marginal tax rate is 0.003,
although the sign is correct, it is not significant (Table 8)

Specification change
From individual regressions of the optimal capital structure determinants identified, it is
considered a change in the model specification testing, by the following:
Ln (RE) = α + β. Ln (C) + Ln (LIQCORR) + Ln (TAD) + Ln (TVIEM ^ 2) + Ln
(INA) (3)
From the above highlights the following:
Elasticities of the capital structure of companies in the food and beverage industry
are: -0.22 respect to the current liquidity ratio, 0.52 regarding the annual dividend rate,
compared to -0.14 square lifetime of the company and 0.33 respect to the investment or n
net adjusted signature. In all cases significant 10% or less.
The model, with the change of specification or n introduced, has a significance
level of 1%, as measured by the probability cadastre í stico F Fisher.
The degree of determination or n the set of variables explains at least 42.9% of
changes in the capital structure of companies in the food and beverage industry.

19. IV.CONCLUSIONS
It has been found sufficient to say that the capital structure of the industry companies Food and
Drinks Lima Stock Exchange is based on evidence: (1) the ratio of current liquidity, there is a
negative correlation, ie a higher degree of liquidity, lower debt ratio of equity; (2) the annual
dividend rate of the company, where the higher dividend rate,the higher level of indebtedness of
heritage; (3) the square of the lifetime of the company, which to a certain level of sales the
relationship is negative (less access to debt), then after a certain scale, longer life greater the
degree of indebtedness; and (4) the adjusted net investment in a positive, which implies that more
investment increased indebtedness ratio of heritage experience.
