Contradiction in Chapter 30
Hey all,
I was reading chapter 30 and something came across as a contradiction to me. However, I may be misunderstanding something and would appreciate a second opinion.
In chapter 30, section 2.1, the first proposition states that the value of the company is not affected by capital structure. Therefore a leverage company is equal to an unleveraged company (in terms of market value)
However, as I move on to 2.3, it says: "The value of the company increases with increasing levels of debt"
I understand that this is due to taxes but still, I don't understand how it affects the company value and which statement actually holds up in real life.
Thanks
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
