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 195,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 145,000 shares of stock outstanding and dollar 2.1 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 8 percent, and there are no taxes. If EBIT is dollar 550.000, what is the EPS for each plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) EPS Plan I dollar Plan II dollar If EBIT is dollar 800.000, what is the EPS for each plan? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) EPS Plan I dollar Plan II dollar What is the break even EBIT? (Do not round intermediate calculations and. Enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars, e.g., 1.234,567.) Break even EBIT dollar

Explanation / Answer

a.EPS for each plan,if EBIT is $550000

EPS = Net income available to stockholders/No of shares outstanding

Plan I :Equity plan

Net income = EBIT - Interest =$550000-0=$550000

No of shares outstanding =195000

EPS = 550000/195000 = $2.82

Plan II:Levered paln

Net income = EBIT - Interest =$550000-(2100000*8%)=$550000-$168000=$382000

No of shares outstanding =145000

EPS = 382000/145000 = $2.635

b.EPS for each plan,if EBIT is $600000

EPS = Net income available to stockholders/No of shares outstanding

Plan I :Equity plan

Net income = EBIT - Interest =$600000-0=$600000

No of shares outstanding =195000

EPS = 600000/195000 = $3.077

Plan II:Levered paln

Net income = EBIT - Interest =$600000-(2100000*8%)=$600000-$168000=$432000

No of shares outstanding =145000

EPS = 432000/145000 = $2.979

c.Break Even EBIT

At Break even EBIT,Earning per share of equity paln is equal to earning per share of levered firm

i.e EBIT/No of shares outstanding = (EBIT-Interest)/No of shares outstanding

EBIT/195000 =(EBIT-$168000)/145000

145EBIT =195EBIT -24360000

50EBIT =24360000

EBIT =$487200

Therefore,Break even EBIT is $487200.
