Is capital structure relevant to the value of the firm?
It should be in regards to the forecasts regarding debt and equity markets. A firm more heavily exposed to debt will be exposed to the constant variable nature of that debt and other relevant debt covenants - eg over the last 5 years firms have favored debt due to cheap debt markets but are now suffering from high debt claiming high interest repayments etc. Equity is less of a drag on cash flow but can limit organizational effectiveness in regards to the greater power of shareholders.

The swap rate can also be defined as the fixed rate in an interest rate swap that causes the swap to have a value of zero.
