We revisit the relation between equity returns and financial leverage through the lens of a trade-off model with costly … returns depend on whether a firm's leverage is above or below its target leverage. The data support the model predictions …. Controlling for leverage, overlevered (underlevered) firms earn higher (lower) returns. Controlling for target leverage the …

In this paper, we revisit a frequently employed simplification within the WACC approach that company cost of capital kV is supposed to be invariant to the debt ratio and therefore equal to the unlevered cost kU . Even though we know from Miles and Ezzell (1980) that kV formally differs from kU ,...
