ESSAY ON: Proportion of Debt in Total Capital Structure: Effect on Firm Value

Number of Pages 13

This research paper: A 13 page paper discussing the effect of debt on the value of the firm, with a focus on the financial services industry and using Citibank as an example. As Citibank’s debt load has risen, so has its stock price and therefore its firm value. Because Citibank’s debt has increased to finance acquisitions, however, its assets also have increased during the same period. Citibank’s current ratio always remains at or around 1.0, indicating that it has not taken on more debt than can be beneficial. Certainly other factors enter into changes in firm value, but analysts view increasing debt financing of growth activities as a positive approach to conducting business. Bibliography lists 19 sources.
