This document discusses the effective management of capital structure. It begins by defining capital structure as the mix of debt and equity used to finance a firm. It then reviews several theories around optimal capital structure, including the Modigliani-Miller theory and more recent market timing theory. The document presents the methodology used, which was a qualitative analysis of secondary literature. It discusses the results, including that an optimal capital structure balances debt and equity to minimize costs. Finally, it concludes that financial performance depends on a well-structured mix of debt, preferred stock, and common equity.
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.
Institutional Investors Heterogeneity And Earnings Management: The R&D Invest...Waqas Tariq
This study examines the association between different institutional investors\' ownership and earnings management practice through R&D expenditures. It investigates this relationship for a sample of 123 US firms. We examine also the effect of institutional ownership on earnings management of firms having different information environment (S&P 500 versus non S&P 500). Results show that while investment funds exacerbate earnings management by encouraging managers to limit R & D expenditures, pension funds and banks follow passive behaviors. Moreover, the hypothesis of the relevance of the environment information in the explanation of the institutional investors’ behavior seems to be important in our case.

This study examines the underlying components that determine the dividend policy statement of corporations in Nigeria. The study purposively select ninety-four (94) corporations out of the universe of companies listed in the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Financial ratios were extracted and computed from published annual audited financial reports spanning 2007 to 2017. This was informed by the ex-post facto research design adopted to observe key indicators of these corporations in retrospect. The panel regression analysis was used to explain the numerical phenomenon collated. The Durbin-Wu-Hausman specification test found the fixed effect model to be more suitable. The empirical results indicate that financial leverage has a significant negative impact on dividend payout; liquidity has an insignificant positive impact on dividend payout policy; profitability has an insignificant positive impact on dividend payout decision; and company size has a significant positive impact on dividend payout dicision. The study concluses that liquidity, profitability and company size are the determinants of the dividend policy of corporations in Nigeria. More specifically, company size was found to be a major determinant to the dividend policy statement of corporations in Nigeria. The study suggests that, corporations should sustain their liquid positions, asset base and profit levels at all times to meet the universe of desires of their shareholders.
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.

Study of the Static Trade-Off Theory determinants vis-à-vis Capital Structure...inventionjournals
This paper investigates the application of the Static Trade-Off theory regarding the capital structure of the Pakistani Chemical Industry. We have used panel data analysis for the sample of 31 listed chemical firms from the period 2005 to 2013. The study is unique in its type as unlike to Shah & Hijazi (2005) who studied many industrial sections, this study only focuses on the listed Chemical Firms. We used five independent variables such as Profitability (P), Tangibility (T), Liquidity (L), Firm Size (FS) and Total Assets Growth (TAG) to study the effect on independent variable Financial Leverage (FG). The results confirmed the relationship of Profitability, Liquidity and Firm Size. However the results were not confirmed for Tangibility and Firm Assets Growth. Even though the results for Tangibility were positive, however the significance of the coefficients failed to support the hypothesis. This study hold a unique position for researchers for future research and also has significance for the investors helping them to make wise investment decisions when investing in Pakistani Chemical Industry since this industry holds a major portion of industrial GDP of the country
Impact of Firm Specific Factors on Capital Structure Decision: An Empirical S...Waqas Tariq
Abstract This study attempts to explore the impact of firm specific factors on capital structure decision for a sample of 39-firm listed on Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) during 2003-2007. To achieve the objectives, this study tests a null hypothesis that none of the firm’s specific factors namely profitability, tangibility, non-debt tax shield, growth opportunities, liquidity, earnings volatility, size, dividend payment, managerial ownership, and industry classification has significant impact on leverage using estimate of fixed effect model under Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression. Checking multicollinearity and estimating regression analysis through Pearson correlation and autoregressive mode respectively this study found that profitability, tangibility, liquidity, and managerial ownership have significant and negative impact on leverage. Positive and significant impact of growth opportunity and non-debt tax shield on leverage has been found in this study. On the other hand size, earnings volatility, and dividend payment were not found to be significant explanatory variables of leverage. Results also reveal that total debt to total assets ratios are significantly different across Bangladeshi industries.

This paper investigates the relationship between working capital management and financial performance of Pharmaceuticals and Textile firms listed at the Dhaka Securities Exchange in Bangladesh. The data analysis was carried on ten Pharmaceuticals and Textile firms for a period of 2013 to 2017. Secondary Data was analyzed by applying Descriptive Statistics, Regression and Correlation analysis to findthe relationship of current ratio, inventory conversion period and average payment period with Return on Asset. The findings indicate that the Pharmaceuticals and Textile firms’ performance is influenced by the variables relating to working capital. There is a positive relationship between profitability and current ratioand Inventory Turnover period shows a negative relationship with profitability but Average payment period shows insignificant impact on profitability. The study concludes that there exists a relationship between working capital managementand financial performance of Pharmaceuticals and Textile firms in Bangladesh. The study recommends that for the Pharmaceuticals and Textile firms to remain profitable, they should employ working capital management practice that will help in making decisions about investment mix and policy, matching investment to objective, asset allocation for institution and balancing risk against profitability.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The Effective Management of Capital Structure
Abstract: Capital structure has always been one of the main topics among the studies of finance
scholars. Its importance derives from the fact that capital structure is strongly associated to the
ability of firms to fulfil the needs to various stakeholders. The last century has observed a
continuous developing of new hypothesis on the optimal debts to equity ratio. This a qualitative
research and employed descriptive analysis. This research paper proposed that a mix of debt,
preferred stock and common equity will maximize shareholders wealth or maximize market per
share.
Keywords: Hypothesis, Capital, Structure, Debt, Equity

Introduction: The Effective Management of Capital Structure
Capital Structure is a mix of debt and equity capital maintained by a firm. Capital structure is
also referred as financial structure of a firm. The capital structure of a firm is very important
since it related to the ability of the firm to meet the needs of its stakeholders. Modigliani and
Miller (1958) were the first ones to landmark the topic of capital structure and they argued that
capital structure was irrelevant in determining the firm’s value and its future performance. On
the other hand, Chatterjee and Lubatkin (1994) as well as many other studies have proved that
there exists a relationship between capital structure and firm value.
In more recent literatures, authors have showed that they are less interested on how capital
structure affects the firm value. Instead they lay more emphasis on how capital structure impacts
on the ownership/governance structure thereby influencing top management of the firms to make
strategic decisions (Hitt, Hoskisson & Harrison, 1991). These decisions will in turn impact on
the overall performance of the firm (Jensen, 1986).
Problems of the Study
Nowadays, the main issue for capital structure is how to resolve the conflict on the firms’
resources between managers and effective management of owner’s resources (Jensen, 1986).
This research paper is a reviewed of literature on the various theories related to capital structure
and effective management of owner’s resources of the firm (debt, preferred stock and common
stock).
The discussion about limitations on capital structure decisions, agency cost is one of the major
constraints, which is crucial for management and other stakeholders. Fundamentally agency
4. 4
problem arises due to divergence of interest of stakeholders (managers, employees and creditor).
Jensen (1989) presented the agency theory by focusing on the management and shareholders.
Theoretical Framework
Recently, a new theory, the market timing theory of capital structure which was first introduced
by Baker and Wurgler (2002), develops a different kind of view about capital structure. The
market timing theory suggests that managers are able to identify certain time periods during
which equity issuance is less costly due to the high valuation of company’s stock. It means, firms
are more likely to issue equity when their market values are high, relative to book and post
market values, and to repurchase equity when their market values are low. As a consequence,
current capital structure is strongly related to historical market values. This result provides
market. However, Hovakimian (2005), Flannery and Rangan (2006), Alti (2006) and Kayhan and
Titman (2007) disagree with Baker and Wurgler on the persistence of the effect on capital
structure because the importance of historical average market-to-book ratios in leverage
regressions does not influence the past equity market timing. Kayhan and Titman (2007) make
the point that the significance of the historical market-to-book series in leverage regressions may
be due to the noise in the current market-to-book ratio.
Methodology
Data on capital structure was collected from Secondary sources like Articles, Journals, empirical
literatures, Textbooks and Internet sources (peer-review data) for analysis on capital structure.
Qualitative methodology was applied for this research paper. Descriptive research design and
analysis on capital structure were employed to investigate the capital structure. For the purpose
of analysis, a secondary data was used to analysed the various literature on capital structure. The
5. 5
researcher obtained both primary and secondary data from the various case studies for the
analysis of the capital structure. The primary data was in the form of interviews with the concern
officials on capital and Money market in Ghana. Secondary data was in the form of documents
obtained from the internet (peer-review data), literatures reviewed and other articles for the
analysis of the capital structure.
Results and Discussion
The empirical data analysed from the primary and secondary sources has shown that adequate
mix of debt and equity financing is good a source of an organisation capital structure, and this
was possible due to results from the study enumerated as below:
The Capital Structure
Capital structure decision is the mix of debt and equity that a company uses to finance its
business(Damodaran,2009). It is mix of debt, preferred stock and common stock with which the
firm plans to finance its investment. The main points are to have such of a price mix debt,
preferred stock and common equity which will maximize shareholders wealth or maximize
market per share.
The Optimum Capital Structure
Weighted Average Cost of Capital(WACC)depends on the mix of different securities in the
capital structure. A change in the mix of different securities in the capital structure will cause a
change in the WACC. Thus, there will be a mix of different securities in the capital structure at
which WACC will be the least. An optimal capital structure means a mix of different securities
which will maximize the stock price share or minimize WACC.A higher debt ratio can enhance
the rate of return on equity capital during good economic times also increases the riskiness of the
6. 6
firm`s earnings stream. The weighted average cost of capital is also use to calculate the net
present value(NPV) of capital budgeting for corporate projects. A lower WACC will yield a
higher NPV, so achieving a lower WACC is always optimal. Refer to overseeing the capital
structure as capital structure management.
Managerial Implication
Management of an organisation or a firm need to plan strategically so as to design and
implement a well financial management which is expected to contribute positively to the creation
of a firm`s value. The dilemma in financial management is to achieve desired trade-off between
liquidity, solvency and profitability(Lazaridis,2006). Financial performance has implications to
organization’s health and ultimately its survival. High performance reflects management
effectiveness and efficiency in making use of company`s resources and this in turn contributes to
the organisation growth, development and profitability. High financial performance also leads to
good managerial compensation. A well-constructed managerial compensation not only to retain
competent of managers, but to align managers interest with those of shareholders as much as
possible. Thus, eliminate the agency problem.
Corporate World with Taxes Implication
According to MM theory, a corporate world with taxes, the value of levered firm equals the
value of unlevered plus the value of the tax shield. Accordingly, the more the debt in the capital
structure, the higher will be the value of levered firm. One can always increase firm value by
increasing leverage, implying that firms should issue maximum debt. This is inconsistent with
the real world, where firms generally employ moderate amount of debt. Debt also provides tax
benefits to the firm.

Corporate World without Taxes Implications
Capital structure decision involves a trade-off between risk and return to maximize market prices
per share. According to Modigliani and Miller (1958) research, in a world without corporate
taxes, mix between debt and equity does not matter. Value of the firm is independent of capital
structure decisions and equals operating income divided by overall cost of capital.
Corporate Risk Implication
The cost of holding risk is a crucial concept for any corporation to understand. Most financial
policy decisions, whether they concern capital structure, dividends, capital allocation, capital
budgeting, or investment and hedging policies, revolve around the corporate costs of holding
risk. These decisions can be made well only with a thorough understanding of how costly it is to
initiate and warehouse risk. This issue is particularly important for financial firms, since the
initiation and warehousing of risk constitutes their core value added.
Conclusion and Practical Recommendations
The end of this research has been to generally fit the aims and objectives of this study.
Recommendation for the future is however made to further improve upon the findings of this
research. Based on the findings of the research, it is concluded and recommended that: Financial
performance has implications to organization’s health and ultimately its survival and these
depend on a well mix of debt, preferred stock and common stock. A well optimal capital
structure for any organisation or a firm is next step for future studies.
