As time moved and with recent development in corporate world, more researches have examined deeper the concept of capital structure. The trade-off theory of capital structure comes at a later stage which concerned about the corporate finance choices of firms is widely discussed. Its rationale is to describe the fact that firms are usually financed with some proportion of debt and equity. It proposed a principle that a firm's target leverage is driven by taxes shield, bankruptcy costs of debt and agency conflicts. Under trade-off theory, it affirms the advantages of using debt because the firm can gain tax shield with the usage of some proportion of debt in financing the company. Tax shield comes from the interest payment as a tax deductible item, which means that the higher the interest payment on debt employed, the lower the taxes will be paid by the firm. However, as companies decide to use more debt, it will put companies in the position of financial distress due to the possibility of the firm may be default in meeting its liabilities obligations. Financial distress will include bankruptcy and non bankruptcy cost. In conclusion, the trade-off theory suggests that optimal capital structure can be attained. However, firms should take appropriate actions in balancing between the tax benefits of higher debt and the greater possibility of financial distress costs while aiming to optimize its overall value. Early empirical evidence on the trade-off theory by Bradley, Jarrel and Kim (1984) reported mixed result. However, recent studies by Givoly, Hayn, Ofer and Sarig (1992), MacKie-Mason (1990) and Trezevent (1992) provides supporting evidence on trade-off theory
