Teachings from the capital structure:

The description of the capital structure makes it clear that the ratio that the firm invests in its stocks and debts would be equal to 1:2. Debt ought to be higher than equity. But a less-risky investment approach should also be maintained by the company.

Prior to pursuing any form of capital structure, one ought to be cautious. This is since the capital structure strategy is the cornerstone for the whole organization. The approach should also be versatile and long-lasting. One should be aware that even minute shifts in the structure of capital will have a significant effect on the firm's entire hazard and return.
