rS = r0 + SL ´ (1 -TC ) ´ (r0 - rB )
Personal Taxes: The Miller Model
The Miller Model shows that the value of a levered firm can be expressed in terms of an unlevered firm as:
VL = VU + TC B
rS = r0 + (B/S)×(1-TC)×(r0 - rB)
The MM Proposition II (Corp. Taxes)
Shareholders in a levered firm receive Bondholders receive ( EBIT - rB B ) ´ (1 -TC ) rB B Thus, the total cash flow to all stakeholders is ( EBIT - rB B ) ´ (1 -TC ) + rB B The present value of this stream of cash flows is VL Clearly ( EBIT - rB B ) ´ (1 -TC ) + rB B = = EBIT ´ (1 -TC ) - rB B ´ (1 -TC ) + rB B
= EBIT ´ (1 -TC ) - rB B + rB BTC + rB B The present value of the first term is VU
The present value of the second term is TCB
\VL = VU +TC B
