This paper shows how to proceed to find the optimal capital structure and value with period-to-period constant and variable leverage, when the discount rate for tax shields is Ke, the cost of levered equity. Numerical procedures and recursive closed-form non-circular expressions for the finite-period and perpetuity cases are presented, which facilitate any kind of implementation including Monte Carlo simulations.
En este trabajo se muestra cómo encontrar la estructura óptima de capital y el valor con un endeudamiento constante y variable período a período, cuando la tasa de descuento para el ahorro de impuestos es Ke, el costo de capital apalancado. Se presentan procedimientos numéricos y expresiones recursivas compactas no circulares para los casos de períodos finitos y perpetuidades, lo que facilita el cálculo y el análisis, incluyendo simulaciones de Monte Carlo. Asimismo, se ilustra el procedimiento en hoja de cálculo con Solver como una verificación.
