can any body help me understand the impact of capital structure on the market value of a firm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.128.123.2 ( talk) 16:28, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
What's the best way to determine your company's capital structure? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.168.98.179 ( talk • contribs)
This was all there was in "Capital structure theory If anybody want to put this back with any sense in it its fine with me. Smallbones 15:06, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

what does financial structure mean, total debt / total asset, or long term debt / total asset? And if short term debt debt is included, then are account payables also included? Jackzhp ( talk) 20:29, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
What on earth does this sentence mean (under the heading "Trade-Off Theory")?:
xxx It states that there is an advantage to financing with debt, the tax benefit of debt and there is a cost of financing with debt, the bankruptcy costs of debt. xxx —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cgay88 ( talk • contribs) 18:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
The first sentence, as is still the case with many Wikipedia articles, assumes this article is about the words 'capital structure'. Which is an incorrect assumption.
I'm changing the first sentence from starting with 'In finance, capital structure refers to', so it instead says 'In finance, capital structure is'. And I encourage everyone to edit other article introductions where this somewhat tiresome mistake is discovered. -- 62.16.186.44 ( talk) 15:50, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Greetings Wikipedians! It looks like there has been no activity this talk page in over five years. Anyway, I deleted the statement "A firm's capital structure is the composition or structure of its liabilities" because it is technically incorrect. Equity is part of a firm's capital structure, but it is not a liability. This is evident in the basic accounting equation "Assets = liabilities plus equity," which I'm confident holds true in every industry despite the many differences in how companies structure their balance sheets. I've adjusted the first sentence in the article to correct this. This is part of a larger effort to improve the article by adding more citations to reliable sources and improve verifiability.Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 ( talk) 11:36, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
Most of the text is concerned with Miller/Modigliani and "relaxing assumptions" about their theory. How about some text about the practical issues financial executives and corporate board members wrestle with? Such as a) Finding the right capital structure for the business; b) risks involved in too much leverage; benefits swamped by investor concern over the company's risk profile; c) rating agencies' scrutiny of capital structure. These things should be presented as real-world problems, not just discussed in the framework of a theory that says capital structure makes no difference. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 ( talk)
