Abstract
This report attempts provides insight into Dana Corporation?s capital structure. The paper focuses on identifying the company's book value, market value, and the levered value. The report then demonstrates, through a quantitative analysis, what a twenty percent increase in assets will do for Dana Corporation, and assumptions are made to recommend an optimal capital structure mix. The analysis incorporates an estimation of Dana Corp's cost of capital, price per share, and the overall market value of the firm.

From the Paper
"The relationship of the stockholder's equity to total liabilities has been shown to be the most significant indicator of a company's solvency because it provides the ratio of capital provided by the stockholders as compared to capital provided through creditors. The information obtained through the analysis in this report provides answers to the ever important question of whether or not a company should issue stock or carry debt. Unsophisticated investors often wonder why a company would purposely carry debt and one excellent motivation derived from the Modigliani-Miller (M&M) model demonstrates that debt can and often is used as a shield against taxes. If a company like Dana decides, therefore, to carry debt, the tax shield would be used to lower overall costs. The next idea then is for a company like Dana to obtain an ideal or optimal mix between debt and equity."
