Question

Frankline Coin Company is considefined theg two capital structures. The key information follows. Assume a 40% tax rate. Calculate the financial breakeven point for each plan and the indifference point for the two plans. Calculate the DFL for each plan at the expected EBIT of $50,000. Use this number to explain what change would be expected from a 20% increase (decrease) in EB11 Indicate over what EBIT range, if any, each structure is preferred. If EBIT is $35,000, what arc EPS under each plan? What if EBIT is $60.000?

Explanation / Answer

Sol 1:

Formula of financial breakeven point= annual interest charges+pref div

(1-tax)

Financial breakeven point for plan A= 40000+20000/(1-.4)

                                                                 = 100000

Financial breakeven point for plan B= 24500+10000/(1-.4)

                                                                =57500

Indifference point =

(EBIT indiff point of A-int cost)(1-tax)-pref div =   (EBIT indiff point OF B-int cost)(1-tax)-pref div

Outstanding shares of A                                                                  outstanding shares of B

(X- 40000)(1-.4)-20000                  =                                    (X-24500)(1-.6)-10000

         10000                                                                                     20000        

X= 105500

SOL 2.

DFL= EBIT          

        EBIT- INT

A                                                                                                  B

50000                                                                                             50000

50000-40000                                                                                 50000-24500

5                                                                                                                 1.96

IF EBIT increase by 20%, new EBIT would be 50000+ 20%= 60000

60000                                                                                             60000

60000-40000                                                                                 60000-24500

3                                                                                                         1.69

Sol 3

Already explain in previous part. Bear in mind Fundamental analysis uses the DLF to determine the sensitivity of a company's earnings per share (EPS) in relation to a change in its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT).

SOL 4

If EBIT is 35000

     A                                                                                                           B

EPS= earning for equity share holder                                                 earning for equity share holder

           Common stock                                                                                      Common stock

No EPS, since int is exceed than EBIT.                                                ( 35000-24500-10000)

                                                                                                                      20000

                                                                                                                    =.025

If EBIT is 60000

     A                                                                                                           B

EPS= earning for equity share holder                                                 earning for equity share holder

           Common stock                                                                                      Common stock

(60000-40000-20000)                                                                              ( 60000-24500-10000)

          10000                                                                                                           20000

    0                                                                                                                                =1.275
