Net income approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The net income approach assumes that the cost of equity capital is constant with the change in leverage. This is because the net income approach does not take into account the tax shield benefits of debt financing. As a result, the cost of equity capital is assumed to be the same regardless of the level of debt financing.<\/p>\n<p>The Modigliani and Miller approach, on the other hand, assumes that the cost of equity capital is not constant with the change in leverage. This is because the Modigliani and Miller approach takes into account the tax shield benefits of debt financing. As a result, the cost of equity capital is assumed to be lower when there is more debt financing.<\/p>\n<p>The net operating income approach assumes that the cost of equity capital is equal to the return on assets.
