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.

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

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).)

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

Requirement 1:

EPS for Plan I :

Eps=Earnings avilable to share holders/no of shares=$2,600,000/765,000=$3.4

EPS for Plan II :

Interest=$9,250,000*12%=$1,110,000

EBIT=$2,600,000

EBT=$2,600,000-$1,110,000=$1,490,000

Eps=Earnings avilable to share holders/no of shares=$1,490,000/515,000=$2.89

Requirement 2:

EPS for Plan I :

Eps=Earnings avilable to share holders/no of shares=$3,100,000/765,000=$4.05

EPS for Plan II :

Interest=$9,250,000*12%=$1,110,000

EBIT=$3,100,000

EBT=$3,100,000-$1,110,000=$1,990,000

Eps=Earnings avilable to share holders/no of shares=$1,990,000/515,000=$3.86

Requirement 3:

EBIT/765,000=(EBIT-$1,110,000)515,000

515,000EBIT=765,000 EBIT-$1,110,000*765,000

765,000 EBIT-515,000 EBIT=$1,110,000*765,000

EBIT=$1,110,000*765,000/250,000=$3,396,600
