Question
8. M&M and Miller models
After Modigliani and Miller's (MM) original no-tax theory, they went on to develop another theory that included corporate taxes. Subsequently, Miller
developed another theory that included the effects of both corporate and personal taxes.
Complete the following sentence based on your understanding of the MM Model with corporate taxes:
MM's model that included the existence of corporate taxes concluded that 100%
Alumiscape Corporation has no debt, and a value of $40.000 million. Metallica Metals is otherwise identical but has $16.000 million of debt in its
capital structure. Under the different models, what is the value of Metallica Metals if its corporate tax rate is 30%, the personal tax rate on equity is
10%, and the personal tax rate on debt is 28%? (Note: Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Model
MM without taxes
MM with corporate taxes
Miller with corporate and personal taxes
Consider the following information:
Is the preceding information correct?
Adding personal taxes to the model lowers, but does not eliminate, the benefit from corporate debt. In the United States, taxes on
capital gains are lower than on ordinary income and can be deferred. The effective rate on stock income is normally less than that on
bond income, and although the personal tax on debt will lower the gain from corporate debt, it is not usually enough to eliminate it.
Therefore, there is still a gain from leverage using Miller's model, as well as the MM model with corporate tax.
No
debt is the best way to capitalize a firm.
Metallica Metals Value
$62.400 million
