Under Plan II, there would be 505,000 shares of stock outstanding and $8.75 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent, and there are no taxes. Requirement 1: Assume that EBIT is $2.4 million. Compute the EPS for both Plan I and Plan II. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32 EPS Plan I $ Plan II $ Requirement 2: Assume that EBIT is $2.9 million. Compute the EPS for both Plan I and Plan II. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) EPS Plan I $ Plan II $ Requirement 3: What is the break-even EBIT? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars (e.g., 1,234,567).)
Explanation / Answer
BReak Even EBIT
X/755000 = (X- 612500) /505000
505000X = 755000(X-612500)
505000X - 755000X = 755000*612500
250000X = 755000*612500
X = 1849750
EBIT = 2400000 Particulars Plan 1 Plan 2 EBIT 2400000 2400000 Less: Interest 0 612500 EBT 2400000 1787500 Less: Tax 0 0 Earnings for equity 2400000 1787500 Number of equity shares 755000 505000 EPS 3.18 3.54 EBIT=2900000 Particulars Plan 1 Plan 2 EBIT 2900000 2900000 Less: Interest 0 612500 EBT 2900000 2287500 Less: Tax 0 0 Earnings for equity 2900000 2287500 Number of equity shares 755000 505000 EPS 3.84 4.53Related Questions
