The purpose of this research is to explore, the factors that affect the capital structure of the firms and to find the relationship between western models and the capital structure decisions in Pakistan. The OLS regression is applied to predict the relationship between the independent variables that are profitability, size, tangibility and growth earnings and the dependent variable that is the debt ratio. Secondary data has been collected for the research. The existing quarterly reports of the companies are analyzed for this purpose. The industries selected are the banking industry and the cements industry of Pakistan. In each case no coefficient is found to be statistically significant except in the case of Kohat cement where in the case of profitability and size the null hypothesis is rejected.
