Question

     (EBIT-EPS analysis) Three recent graduates of the computer science program at the University of Tennessee are forming a company that will write and distribute new application software for the iPhone. Initially, the corporation will operate in the southern region of Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. A small group of private investors in the Atlanta, Georgia area is interested in financing the startup company and two financing plans have been put in forth for consideration:

Explanation / Answer

A)

EBIT indifference=

[(EBIT-0)x.66]/210000= [(EBIT-119900)x.66]/100000

EBIT/210000= (EBIT-119900)/100000

EBIT= 2.1EBIT-251790

251790=2.1EBIT- EBIT

EBIT= $228900

B)

pro forma income statement for Plan A:

EBIT= $228900

Interest=0

EBT= 228900

Tax= 77826

EAT= 151074

no of shares=210000

EPS= EAT/no of shares

EPS= 151074/210000= .7194

EPS= .7194

pro forma income statement for Plan B:

EBIT= $228900

Interest=119900

EBT= 109000

Tax= 37060

EAT= 71940

no of shares= 100000

EPS= EAT/no of shares

EPS= 71940/100000= .7194

EPS= .7194


The EBIT indifference level associated with the two financing plans is $228900
