This article sets up a single period value maximization model for the firm based on stochastic end-of-period cash inflows, stochastic bankruptcy costs and taxes based on income rather than wealth. The risk-return trade-off is captured in the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Thus, the model also assumes a perfect capital market and market equilibrium. The model establishes the existence of a unique optimal financial leverage at which the firm value is maximized, this leverage being less than the maximum debt capacity of the firm.

Although the concepts of efficiency have been extensively researched, an efficient stock market has remained elusive. The subject is of particular concern in India now because of the increasing dependence on the capital market for financing industrial growth. S K Barua and V Raghunathan presented two articles in Vikalpa (July-September 1986 and July-September 1987) arguing that the Indian capital market was inefficient. Using Reliance share prices, they tried to demonstrate that schemes yielding returns unrelated to risk existed. Srinivasan and Narasimhan in this article question the methodology used by Barua and Raghunathan and elaborate on the concepts of risk-return parity and efficiency, drawing a distinction between information efficiency and market efficiency.
