Required:

(a)  
If EBIT is $ 238,000, Plan I's EPS is $ while Plan II's EPS is $ . (Do not include the dollar signs ($). Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

(b)  
If EBIT is $ 833,000, Plan I's EPS is $ and Plan II's EPS is $ . (Do not include the dollar signs ($). Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

(c)  
The break-even EBIT is $ . (Do not include the dollar sign ($). Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount. (e.g., 32))

Explanation / Answer

a) Plan I's EPS:

EBIT                            238000

Interest                        0

Tax                              0

Earning After Tax        238000

EPS = 238000/178500

EPS = 1.33

Plan II EPS

EBIT                            238000

Interest                        178500

Tax                              0

Earning After Tax        59500

EPS = 59500/71400

EPS = 0.83

b.) Plan I's EPS:

EBIT                            833000

Interest                        0

Tax                              0

Earning After Tax        833000

EPS = 833000/178500

EPS = 4.67

Plan II EPS

EBIT                            833000

Interest                        178500

Tax                              0

Earning After Tax        654500

EPS = 654500/71400

EPS = 9.17

c) Interest paid is $178500

so, the break even EBIT is $178500 for plan II
