Question

Kyle Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, Kyle would have 765,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 515,000 shares of stock outstanding and $9.25 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 12 percent, and there are no taxes. Requirement 1: Assume that EBIT is $2.6 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 $3.1 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).)

Break-even EBIT $

Explanation / Answer

Break Even EBIT = EPS in plan 1 = EPS in plan 2

= EBIT/765000 = (EBIT-Interest)/515000

= EBIT/765000 =( EBIT-1110000)/515000

= 515000EBIT= 765000EBIT-765000*515000

EBIT = 1575900
