Under Plan II, there would be 530,000 shares of stock outstanding and $10.00 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 10 percent, and there are no taxes.

Explanation / Answer

(x-10,000*.10)/530= x/780 (amounts in thousands)

250 x= 780,000

x= 3,120

So break even EBIT is 3,120,000
