Question

intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b-1. Calculate earnings per share (EPS) under each of the three economic scenarios assuming the company goes through with recapitalization. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b-2. Given the recapitalization, calculate the pecentage changes in EPS when the economy expands or enters a recession. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Answer is complete but not entirely correct. a- Recession EPS Normal EPS Expansion EPS 1.60 2.13 2.51 1. a-Recession percentage change in 2. -24.88 % EPS Expansion percentage change in EPS 17.84 % 2.33 3.56 4.44 b- 1. Recession EPS Normal EPS Expansion EPS Recession percentage change in EPS Expansion percentage change in 2. 34.55 % 24.72 % FPS

Explanation / Answer

Given, Market Value =$220000
   EBIT = $36000
   No. of shares currently outstnading = 11000
a1) EBITr (under recession) = 36000*0.75    (25% decrease in EBIT)
      = $27000
   EPSr (under recession)= 27000/11000
   = $2.45

EBIT (under normal condition) = $36000
EPS under normal condition = 36000/11000
= $3.27
  
      EBITe(under expansion) = 36000*1.18 (18% increase)
   = $42480
   EPSe(under expansion) = 42480/11000
      = $3.86


a2. Percentage change
      Recession percentage change in EPS = (Recession EPS/Normal EPS) - 1
= (2.45/3.27)-1
   = -25.00%
( if we use excel and no round off of intermediate calculation is done then the exact answer would be -25.00%)

Expansion percentage change in EPS = (Expansion EPS/Normal EPS) - 1
      = (3.86/3.27)-1
      = 18%
( if we use excel and no round off of intermediate calculation is done then the exact answer would be -18.00%)

b1 Market Value = $220000

No.of shares outstanding = 11000
Price of each shares = 220000/11000 = $20

Total debt issued = $125000 which is used to repurchase shares worth $125000
No.of shares repurchased = 125000/20
                                               =6250
Shares outstanding post repurchase = 11000-6250 = 4750

Refere to the calculation in the excel for the answer for b1 and b2.



Note : No intermediate answers are rounded off. Only the final answer is rounded to 2 decimal places. EPS calculated is also not rounded off for calculation percentage change
