Is capital structure relevant to the value of the firm?
It should be in regards to the forecasts regarding debt and equity markets. A firm more heavily exposed to debt will be exposed to the constant variable nature of that debt and other relevant debt covenants - eg over the last 5 years firms have favored debt due to cheap debt markets but are now suffering from high debt claiming high interest repayments etc. Equity is less of a drag on cash flow but can limit organizational effectiveness in regards to the greater power of shareholders.
