Abstract

This paper develops a precise method of estimating the cost of debt to a firm that is based on standard financial theories and empirical evidence on default risk and financial distress costs. An analysis with current data on the S&P 500 demonstrates that the capital structures of large firms are consistent with the model’s simple implications.

Keywords: Capital Structure, Cost of Capital, Cost of Debt
