I. INTRODUCTION
Capital structure is that part of financial structure which represents combination of long-term sources of funds used to raise the capital required by the company. Normally the sources include Equity, Preference, and Debt Sources. This combination or mix influences the overall cost of capital. Normally capital structure will be the mix of equity and debt. The proportion of this equity and debt to the total capital is decided by the company according to the financial position and ability to raise such capital. The decision regarding the capital structure is very important because it affects the earnings per share or wealth of the shareholders.
