The dissertation investigates capital structure determinants in UK listed companies for the period covering 2004-2008. The review of literature touches on the capital structure theories that predict the impact of these determinants including the static trade-off theory, pecking order theory, and agency cost theory. The relevance of capital structure theories for the capital structure decisions is tested applying the multiple linear regression model to analyse the impact of six determinants on the debt ratios. Conclusions are made about the significance of each determinant, i.e. profitability, firm size, volatility, tangibility, non-debt tax shields and the growth opportunities.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID
I needed the essay just to develop an understanding of how the different ways of analysing a business are used. I am doing a similar study of a different company and so far this has been an appropriate outline for me to understand how to get around this essay. All I need to do now is research my company and hopefully follow a similar method of analysis. The service you provided was more than helpful.Tangat
