Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let me clarify.

Modigliani and Miller's Proposition I states that:

A. The market value of any firm is independent of its capital structure.

This proposition implies that, under certain assumptions (such as perfect markets, no taxes, no transaction costs and symmetric information), the value of a firm is not influenced by whether it is financed by equity or debt. The total market value of a firm remains the same regardless of its capital structure.
