Explanation / Answer

Income before bond interest and income tax = 17600000

Plan 1 =

EPS = earnings available for equityshreholders / share outstanding

Earnings available for equityshareholders = 17600000 * (1-0.40)

= 10560000

= $ 10560000 / 1000000

= $ 10.6

Plan 2=

Earnings available for equityshareholder =

Income before bond interest an income tax is $17,600,000

Less- tax = 7040000

Income after tax = 10560000

Less- preferred dividend = 220000

Earnings available for equityshareholder = 10340000

EPS = 10340000 / 500000

= 20.68

Plan 3= Earnings available for equityshareholders = 17600000 * (1-0.40)

Income before bond interest an income tax is $17,600,000

Less interest = 440000

Income after interest before tax = 17160000

Less- tax = 6864000

Income after tax = 10296000

Less- preferred dividend = 110000

Earnings available for equity share holder = 10186000

EPS = 10186000 / 250000

= 40.744

2) Income before bond interest and income tax = 8360000

Plan 1 =

EPS = earnings available for equityshreholders / share outstanding

Earnings available for equityshareholders = 8360000 * (1-0.40)

= 5016000

EPS = $ 3344000 / 1000000

= $ 3.344

Plan 2=

Earnings available for equityshareholder =

Income before bond interest an income tax is $8360000

Less- tax = 3344000

Income after tax = 5016000

Less- preferred dividend = 220000

Earnings available for equityshareholder = 4796000

EPS = 4796000 / 500000

= 9.592

Plan 3= Earnings available for equityshareholders =

Income before bond interest an income tax is $8360,000

Less interest = 440000

Income after interest before tax = 7920000

Less- tax = 3168000

Income after tax = 5192000

Less- preferred dividend = 110000

Earnings available for equity share holder = 5082000

EPS = 5082000/250000

= 20.238
