How ‘Capital market conditions’ are important in the capital structure decision?

Solution

Capital market conditions refer to upward or downward trends in capital market. Both these conditions have their influence on the selection of sources of finance. When the market is dull, investors are mostly afraid of investing in share capital due to high risk. On the contrary, when conditions in capital market are cheerful, they treat investment in share capital as the best choice to reap profits. Companies should, therefore, make selection of capital sources keeping in view the conditions prevailing in capital market.
