Modigliani and Miller assumptions In 1958 Franco Modigliani and Merton Miller (MM) published a set of research papers that revolutionized the theory of a corporation's capital structure. in their first research paper, MM proposed a set of assumptions that, on the surface, may seem unrealistic, but these assumptions and MM's algebraic approach provided the first significant attempt to study capital structure theory in a scientific fashion. The original assumptions that were used in MM'S flest study were changed by MM and other researchers as the theory of capital structure evolved Which of the following statements are assumptions that Modigliani and Miller used in their initial (MM Proposition 1) model and research paper?
