FINANCIAL STRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION BY USING A GOAL PROGRAMMING APPROACH

Abstract

This paper proposes a new methodology for solving the multiple objective fractional linear programming problems using Taylor’s formula and goal programming techniques. The proposed methodology is tested on the example of company's financial structure optimization. The obtained results indicate the possibility of efficient application of the proposed methodology for company's financial structure optimization as well as for solving other multi-criteria fractional programming problems.
