Plan II would result in 7,600 shares of stock and $198,000 in debt. The interest rate on the debt is 10 percent a. Ignoring taxes, compare both of these plans to an all-equity plan assuming that EBIT will be $48,000 The all-equity plan would result in 12,000 shares of stock outstanding. What is the EPS for each of these plans? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e-g, 32.16) EPS Plan I Plan II All equity b. In part (e), what are the break-even levels of EBIT for each plan as compared to that for an all-equity plan? EBIT Plan I and all-equity Plan II and all-equity c. Ignoring taxes, at what level of EBIT will EPS be identical for Plans I and l12 EBIT d-1 Assuming that the corporate tax rate is 40 nercent what ie the Eno .

b. Calculation of break even EBIT:

   Plan 1 with all equity:

EPS = (EBIT - Debt Interest)/ No, of shares

   4 = (EBIT-9000)/ 10000

   4*10000= EBIT-9000

    EBIT= 40000+9000= 49000/-

   Plan 2 With All equity plan:

   EPS = (EBIT - Debt Interest)/ No, of shares

   4 = (EBIT-19800)/ 7600

   4*7600= EBIT-19800

    EBIT= 30400+19800= 50200/-

c. Identical EBIT of Plan 1 & 2:

  

EPS Plan1 = EPS Plan2

(EBIT-9000)/10000 = (EBIT-19800)/7600

7600 EBIT - 68400000 = 10000EBIT – 198000000

2400 EBIT = 129600000

EBIT = 129600000/2400

EBIT= 54000

d-2 Bresk even EBIT

Plan1 with all equity plan:

EPS = (EBIT - Debt Interest) * (1 - Tax Rate) / No. of shares

2.4 = (EBIT-9000)* (1-.4) /10000

24000= .6EBIT-5400

EBIT = 24000+5400/.6

EBIT=29400/.6 = 49000

Plan1 with all equity plan:

EPS = (EBIT - Debt Interest) * (1 - Tax Rate) / No. of shares

2.4 = (EBIT-19800)* (1-.4) /7600

18240= .6EBIT-11880

EBIT = 18240+11880/.6

EBIT=30120/.6 = 50200

d-3 EBIT at identical EPS plan 1& 2

EPS plan 1 = EPS Plan 2

{(EBIT-9000)*(1-.4)}/10000 = {(EBIT-19800)*(1-.4)}/7600

(.6 EBIT-5400)/10000= (.6 EBIT-11880)/7600

4560 EBIT – 41040000 = 6000 EBIT – 118800000

1440 EBIT = 77760000

EBIT = 77760000/1440 = 54000
