CAPITAL STRUCTURE AS A CRITERION OF EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF THE CORPORATION'S FINANCIAL RECOURSES

Abstract

The article presents an approach to the corporation's capital structure management based on the criterion of maximizing the return on equity (ROE). The basis of this approach is the determination of the expediency of attracting borrowed resources from the point of view of balancing financial risk and profitability. The toolkit for optimizing the capital structure of the corporation is substantiated, taking into account the indicator of financial leverage, which ensures the most effective proportionality between profitability and financial stability. An algorithm for determining the level of financial risk in the structure of the interest rate for attracting borrowed resources has been developed, which involves the formation of the amount of the premium for the risk of insolvency of the borrower and the corresponding methodology for determining the position of the borrower on the scale "financial stability–solvency–financial risk". The post-optimization multifactor sensitivity analysis of the proposed capital structure optimization model made it possible to establish certain patterns regarding changes in ROE and its compo-nents.
