Question

DAR Corporation is comparing two different capital structures: an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 175,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 125,000 shares of stock outstanding and $1.7 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 5 percent, and there are no taxes.

If EBIT is $325,000, what is the EPS for each plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER a

EBIT => 325000

PLAN 1 SHARE 175000

EPS PALN 1 => 325000 / 175000 => $1.86 PER SHARE.

PLAN II

EBT => 325000 - INT(1700000*5%)

EBT => 240000

EPS PLAN II=> 240000 / 125000 => $1.92 PER SHARE

ANSWER b

EBIT => 575000

PLAN 1 SHARE 175000

EPS PALN 1 => 575000 / 175000 => $3.29 PER SHARE.

PLAN II

EBT => 575000 - INT(1700000*5%)

EBT => 490000

EPS PLAN II=> 490000 / 125000 => $3.92 PER SHARE
