Question

Yasmin Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, Yasmin would have 185,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 135,000 shares of stock outstanding and $2.7 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 5 percent and there are no taxes.

If EBIT is $375,000, what is the EPS for each plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

    

If EBIT is $625,000, what is the EPS for each plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final 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).)
