MM approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The MM approach, or Modigliani-Miller approach, is a theory of capital structure that states that the value of a firm is not affected by its capital structure. This means that the overall capitalization rate and the cost of debt remain constant for all degrees of leverage.<\/p>\n<p>The MM approach is based on the following assumptions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are no taxes.<\/li>\n<li>There are no transaction costs.<\/li>\n<li>There are no agency costs.<\/li>\n<li>Investors are rational and have homogeneous expectations.<\/li>\n<li>The market is perfect and there is no asymmetric information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Under these assumptions, the MM approach shows that the value of a firm is equal to the present value of its expected future cash flows, regardless of its capital structure. This is because the cost of debt is equal to the cost of equity, and the tax shield on debt is <div class=\"youtube-subscribe-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCNHT8lW-JmLC68rjBfZhdkg?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"youtube-subscribe-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"youtube-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\">\r\n                    <path d=\"M549.7 124.1c-6.3-23.7-24.8-42.3-48.3-48.6C458.8 64 288 64 288 64S117.2 64 74.6 75.5c-23.5 6.3-42 24.9-48.3 48.6-11.4 42.9-11.4 132.3-11.4 132.3s0 89.4 11.4 132.3c6.3 23.7 24.8 41.5 48.3 47.8C117.2 448 288 448 288 448s170.8 0 213.4-11.5c23.5-6.3 42-24.2 48.3-47.8 11.4-42.9 11.4-132.3 11.4-132.3s0-89.4-11.4-132.3zm-317.5 213.5V175.2l142.7 81.2-142.7 81.2z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n     <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div>        <\/span>\r\n            Subscribe on YouTube\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p>However, the MM approach has been criticized for its unrealistic assumptions.
