    of leverage #ut rises thereafter at an increasing rate" .he cost of eAuity caital- remains more or less constant or rises only

    more of less unchanged for moderate increases in leverage thereafterR and

    (iii) rises #eyond a certain oint"

    .he rincial imlication of the traditional osition is that the cost of caital is

    deendent on the CS and there is an otimal CS %hich minimises the cost of caital"Staking and 6a##el (E) /ndings also suorts this aroach as their result sho%that the market value of eAuity at /rst gro%s #ut then later declines as leverageincreases"

    osition #y oering #ehavioural 8usti/cation for having the cost of caital- r0-remain constant throughout all degrees of leverage"

    .he theory assumed a erfect caital market %here there is no ro#lem ofasymmetric informationO there are no transaction costsR no #ankrutcy cost and thesecurities are in/nitely divisi#le" Managers act in the interest of shareholders andthe /rms can #e groued into eAuivalent risk classes on the #asis of their #usinessriskR and they assumed that there is no ta9"

    In their roosition I they considered the value of the /rm to #e indeendent of its

    Caital Structure(CS)" .his roosition %as more or less similar to that of the net

    e9ected oerating income divided #y the discount rate aroriate to its risk class-and roved that the average cost of caital %ithin a given class is indeendent of

    the degree of leverage"

    .he roosition II held that /nancial leverage increases to e9ected earnings er
