The Modigliani and Miller (MM)articles Implicitly Assumed That Bankruptcy Did

True/False

The Modigliani and Miller (MM)articles implicitly assumed that bankruptcy did not exist.That led to the development of the "trade-off" model,where the firm's value first rises with the use of debt due to the tax shelter of debt,but later falls as more debt is added because the potential costs of bankruptcy begin to more than offset the tax shelter benefits.Under the trade-off theory,an optimal capital structure exists.
